by J. B. Priestley
The fat knight of Shakespeare's histories has been a delight, a fascination, and a puzzle for generations of producers, audiences, and critics. Mr. Priestley sees in him this and much more: certainly a poet's creation to meet the dramatist's need, but also a symbol and premonition of much that has happened in England since.
