Holinshed's Chronicles
''Holinshed's Chronicles'', also known as ''Holinsheds Chronicles of England, Scotland, and Ireland'', is a collaborative work published in several volumes and two editions, the first in 1577, and the second in 1587. It was a large, comprehensive description of the British history.
The ''Chronicles'' are a source of interest to many because of their links to Shakespeare's plays.
== Description ==
In 1548 Reginald Wolfe, a London printer, conceived the idea of creating a "Universal Cosmography of the whole world, and there with also certain particular histories of every known nation." He wanted the work to be printed in English and he wanted maps and illustrations in the book as well. Wolfe acquired many of John Leland's works and with these he constructed chronologies and drew maps that were up to date. When Wolfe realised he could not complete this project on his own, he hired Raphael Holinshed and William Harrison to assist him.
Wolfe died with the work still uncompleted in 1573, and the project, changed to a work about just the British Isles, was run by a consortium of three members of the London stationers. They kept Raphael Holinshed who employed William Harrison, Richard Stanyhurst, Edmund Campion and John Hooker. In 1577 the work was published in two volumes after some censorship by the Privy Council of some of Stanyhurst's contribution on Ireland.〔((King's College London) Holinshed's ''Chronicles'' ) February 2005. Accessed 1 June 2008.〕 When the ''Chronicles'' were first published, they were met with suspicion by many scholars, who regarded the works as un-academic.
