 | | Shakespearean comedy, in spite of the fact that he was historically a part of the Renaissance, falls into the medieval or romantic pattern. | | | Shakespearean drama, like Elizabethan literature in general, is founded on a long tradition in medieval and early Renaissance literature, where the sharp distinction between tragedy and comedy maintained by the classical Greek and Roman writers was either unknown or ignored. | | | Perhaps this element is most influential in terms of Shakespearean comedy since a great many of his most successful comedies may be called romantic comedies. |

| | Shakespearean histories - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Shakespeare was living under the reign of Elizabeth I, the last monarch of the house of Tudor, and his history plays are often regarded as Tudor propaganda because they show the dangers of civil war and celebrate the founders of the Tudor dynasty. | | | In particular, Richard III depicts the last member of the rival house of York as an evil monster ("that bottled spider, that foul bunchback'd toad"), a depiction disputed by many modern historians, while portraying his usurper, Henry VII in glowing terms. | | | Traditionally, the works of William Shakespeare have been grouped into three categories: tragedies, comedies, and histories. |

| | William Shakespeare - Psychology Central |
| | Shakespeare's plays tend to be placed into three main stylistic groups: his early comedies and histories (such as A Midsummer Night's Dream and Henry IV, Part 1), his middle period (which includes his most famous tragedies, Othello, Macbeth, Hamlet and King Lear), and his later romances (such as The Winter's Tale and The Tempest). | | | His plays cover tragedy, history, and comedy and have been translated into every major living language, in addition to being continually performed round the world. | | | The traditional division of his plays into tragedies, comedies, and histories follows the logic of the First Folio. |

| | Renaissance Forum: Volume Two, Number Two, Autumn 1997: Steve Longstaffe |
| | Meantime, revaluing the histories allows a revaluation of the early Shakespeare, which puts Marlowe in the shade, and draws the sting of the Jonsonian challenge to the Bard in tragedy and comedy (and, of course, his superiority in the effete aristocratic genres of pageantry and masque). | | | Such selective quotation from Nashe and Heywood, along with her habitual attribution to 'Shakespeare's histories' or 'Shakespeare's theatre' of qualities present in other histories and other theatres, and her assumption that a genre is dead once no new plays are written, collapses the genre into Shakespeare. | | | Like Ornstein, whom she quotes approvingly, she disposes of the genre by stating that it was popular because of Shakespeare, that it ceased to be popular 'soon after Shakespeare abandoned it', that 'there is good evidence that the genre itself is largely Shakespeare's creation' and that his plays 'shaped the tradition' (Rackin 1990, 31). |

| | Shakespeare, in his "Histories" of the last of the Plantagenet kings, was writing virtually as a "spokesman" for the Tudor government during the reign of Elizabeth I at which time King Richard was perceived to have been nothing less than a monster...hence, as history, the plays are wanting in truth and objectivity. | | | It is an interesting deliniation of this uniquely Shakespearean character (leave us not make judgements on the politics behind the telling of this story). | | | To the right, a photograph of Laurence Olivier playing the title role revealing a sense of evil in a 1950s motion picture which the Tudor dynasty, no doubt, would have preferred though still probably lacking enough evil for them. |
