This study investigates the emblematic significance of the stage imagery of the popular English play in the age of Shakespeare. This venture into iconography aims to demonstrate that these plays convey significance by means of visual conventions and commonplaces, and that the nonverbal images so employed actually constitute a visual vocabulary currant at least in this dramatic genre. Drama is one of the visual arts, and in production the action creates a series of visual impressions which include non-verbal, presentational, and stage images. Many stage images are stage emblems, which carry culturally agreed upon moral meanings -- representations that carry allusions and allegories, part of the language of picture.

The history play is an extremely popular genre among English playwrights of this century, yet very little research has been done in the field. In particular, the sheer size and complexity of the subject appears to have prevented critics from attempting to arrive at a clear definition of the genre. This book examines the term 'history play' afresh, seeking to define more precisely the scope and the limits of the genre in relation to twentieth-century ideas of and attitudes to history.
