For the third and final time, the Symposium collaborated with the Iowa Shake­ speare Festival, which sponsored three Shakespeare plays pre­ sented by Iowa's three state supported universities. This time the plays given were: Romeo and Juliet by the University of Northern Iowa, King Lear by the University of Iowa, and Twelfth Night by Iowa State University. Of the nine papers that make up this issue of the Journal, eight were read at the Symposium's six sessions, and one is from the three addresses given at it. The published address is by Charles T. Wood of Dartmouth College, "Shakespeare and the Drama of History." The other two addresses were "Designing for the Theatre" by Rouben Ter-Arutunian and "Reading and Writing in Shake­ speare's Romances" by David M. Bergeron of the University of Kansas. IOWA STATE JOURNAL OF RESEARCH I FEBRUARY, 1986 327-342 Vol. 60, No. 3 SHAKESPEARE AND THE DRAMA OF HISTORY Charles T. Wood* ABSTRACT. Although Shakespeare relied on Tudor chroniclers like Hall and Holinshed for most of the facts in his history plays, the sources on which their accounts were based remain obscure. The present article surveys a wide range of fifteenth-century writings-sermons, household ordinances, minutes from meetings of the royal council, and parliamentary petitions-in order to understand more fully what the fifteenth century thought and wrote about itself, ·and especially about those problems it regarded as crucial. To a striking degree, the problems stressed turn out to be those repeated in sixteenth-century chronicles, and they are viewed within the same kind of divinely ordained hierarchy so stressed by Shakespeare. It would appear, then, that his emphasis on the great chain of being is fully compatible with the assumptions of the fifteenth century. At the same time, though, because Shakespeare endows his characters with individuated motives and personalities that often clash with the more abstract and generalized view of the world as it was presumed to be, the tensions thus created become a principal source of the vitality Shakespeare imparts to history as he transforms it into drama. Index descriptors: fifteenth-century England, great chain of being, War of the Roses, Lancaster and York, Shakespeare. Without doubt, Shakespeare's
