Summary:Holderness offers a new treatment of Shakespeare's historical dramas, starting out from the social and cultural context in which these plays were produced, and suggests that we need to understand these plays primarily in terms of historical, cultural, and sexual difference, and as a celebration and exploration of values that were relatively marginal to central priorities of the late Tudor state. He reads the plays in light of the early modern consciousness of history and modern preoccupations with language.
