Annotation:
	Shows how the editors of the first folio "published the [history] plays as a sequence," rather than in order of composition or publication. Relates how Shakespeare wrote 1 Henry VI as a prequel to 2 Henry VI and 3 Henry VI, which were published as a duology. Argues that folio paratexts "repackag[e] and regulariz[e]" history plays and focuses on titular monarchs who might not always feature prominently in the plays. English and French summaries, online.
