The plays follow the meteoric rise of a Scythian shepherd-turned-warlord, whose conquests of eastern emperors soon sees him established as the most powerful man in the world. The visual tableaux featured in the plays are iconic. He uses his enemy Bajazeth as a footstool, and has other emperors pull his chariot like horses. He burns the Qur’an on stage. The plays were memorable, too, for how they they showcased the power and variability of iambic pentameter, the meter that Shakespeare would go on to perfect.

It provides an overview of their reception on stage and by critics, and offers fresh insights into the teaching of these plays in the classroom.
