    About this ebook

    The role of prophecy is . . . central in 2 Henry VI, in that it gives to the play a dominant pattern of prediction and eventual fulfillment (Bevington). This pattern isnt satisfied, however, as a result of King Henrys lackadaisical style. Throughout the play, it is clear that Henry is ineffectual as a ruler. Not only that, those who represent him are also handicapped. In fact, as Bevington states, The forces of good do not fare well.

    Henry VI, Part 2 keeps its audience in suspense about the ultimate fate of the king by ending as it does at the beginning of the Wars of the Roses. . . The outcome of these wars will be presented in Henry VI, Part 3 (Mowat, xvii). Resolution will have to wait.

    Donald Richardson

    Donald Richardson OAM, a senior practicing artist and retired long-term educator in art, design and art history, has never been satisfied by historic writing in the field. In this book, he summarises and deconstructs key documents and marshals the clamouring desperation of many for redress and restitution. In the process, he proposes innovations for education and practice (in particular relating to perspective rendering and form). More generally, he proposes that the aesthetic be recognised as a sense of universal human relevance and value.
