dc.descriptionNo four Shakespearean plays have invited more scholarly study than have 1 Henry VI, 2 Henry VI, 3 Henry VI, and Richard III, all of which deal with the great historical struggle between the houses of York and Lancaster. Textual relationships have raised two great problems - that of authorship and that of sequence, sequence not only between the plays themselves but between the various texts of the plays individually. In this study I shall be concerned only with the latter of these two problems - more specifically, only with such relationships as will throw light upon the sequence of composition both between the plays themselves and between the texts of the plays individually. Authorship will creep in only in a casual and general way, if at all. The extant texts which will receive my particular attention, I may add, are as follows: the 1623 Folio versions of 1, 2, and 3 Henry VI and Richard III; the 1594 Contention and the 1595 True Tragedy, the First Quarto versions corresponding to 2 and 3 Henry VI respectively; the Second Quartos, of 1600 - the two corresponding to the 1594 Contention and the one corresponding to the 1595 True Tragedy; and the Third Quarto or Whole Contention of 1619, combining two versions - one which corresponds to the earlier versions of the Contention and the other which corresponds to the earlier versions of the True Tragedy
