Ben Hur: A Story of the Christ, by Lew Wallace
(Psst, Eccles--fettered association requires proper nouns, names, titles, etc. We have accepted, de facto, passages of verse or song lyrics. DetR, much of the body of the "hitorical plays" were written to suck up to the Tudors, most notoriously, the outrageous slander of Richard III.)

No, it's a good course, they just expect us to digest a lot of information on a lot of diverse subjects.
I agree, Set... the only Historical play that I can think of that does not show the Tudors in the greatest light is, ironically, Henry VIII, written with Fletcher, it's supposed. Its' alternate title is: All is true. I also found that Macbeth was one big suck-up: the dangers of regicide, documented just after the Gunpowder plot.
Do you know that there actually is a Richard the Third society, which had to be set up to clear his name? -- From the Historical plays, the only ones that I ever did like was this (despite the obvious bending of facts,) and Richard II, which, to me, is rather like a prototype for Hamlet...
O, good, Eccles! I thought for a moment that you had specialised in something that you don't like, which would be disastrous...

And what would make you think i spent too much time around children, huh?
or Miles Franklin, if your inner child doesn't want to think about starting school.
