Abstract

The order of Shakespeare’s history plays in the 1623 Folio involves the most substantial editorial intervention of that volume. Renaming and ordering the plays in chronological order has cast a long shadow on interpretations. This article revives interest in the history plays as individual Quarto publications, suggesting that they had narrative independence during the period.
