Book Overview

Froissart And The English Chronicle Play is a book written by Robert Metcalf Smith. The book provides an in-depth analysis of the works of Jean Froissart, a 14th-century French chronicler, and his influence on English drama. The author explores how Froissart's chronicles, which chronicled the Hundred Years' War between England and France, were adapted into English plays during the Tudor period. The book examines the similarities and differences between the original chronicles and the plays, and how the plays were used to promote a sense of national identity and pride in England.
