What reading level is Contrast in Shakespeares Historical Plays book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
VII. KING JOHN For once, at least, in the course of this investigation, we may dispense with Holinshed. In his Life and Death of King John Shakespeare gives no evidence save in one or two immaterial instances of his having made direct use of the chronicle. His materials were supplied by a play, the identity of whose author remains conjectural, entitled The Troublesome Raigne of John, King of England, which was first printed in 1591. This older drama is not two plays, as has been sometimes state...d but a double-length play; and the most obvious task that Shakespeare faced when he set about fashioning a new version of The Trouble- some Raigne, was to condense the play by half. He had, neces- sarily, to make a Dejection of material; and he did, in fact, modify the material selected. Let us now examine his manipulation of the older play in the light of the theory of dramatic contrast.
Selection implies rejection. Shakespeare, in his elimination of numerous episodes that found place in The Troublesome Raigne cleared the way for an intelligent treatment of the episodes that remained.
