some critics argue that the "henry vi" trilogy were the first ever plays to be based on recent english history, and as such, they deserve an elevated position in the canon, and a more central role in shakespearean criticism. according to f.p. wilson for example, "there is no certain evidence that any dramatist before the defeat of the spanish armada in 1588 dared to put upon the public stage a play based upon english history [...] so far as we know, shakespeare was the first." however, not all critics agree with wilson here. for example, michael taylor argues that there were at least thirty-nine history plays prior to 1592, including the two-part christopher marlowe play "tamburlaine" (1587), thomas lodge's "the wounds of civil war" (1588), the anonymous "the troublesome reign of king john" (1588), "edmund ironside" (1590 – also anonymous), robert greene's "selimus" (1591) and another anonymous play, "the true tragedy of richard iii" (1591). paola pugliatti, however, argues that the case may be somewhere between wilson and taylor's argument; "shakespeare may not have been the first to bring english history before the audience of a public playhouse, but he was certainly the first to treat it in the manner of a mature historian rather than in the manner of a worshipper of historical, political and religious myth."
