Squee!

So I was reading 1599 again to cheer up this morning, and I noticed the references to John Hayward's Life of Henry IV which apparently plagerizes Tacitus quite a bit. Since Tacitus + English history must be one of the epitomes of possible happiness, I was hunting around for a copy I could get a hold of, when I discovered that ASU subscribes to EEBO, even if my college doesn't. Hurray!

Oooooooh, you should definitely read Hayward! It's a really interesting text, and anyway, I endorse the reading of texts that are going to get addressed in my dissertation. ;)

It is, as far as I've read it, and he starts out with one of the most clear explanations of Wars of the Roses geneology that I've ever come across.
