| Summary: | The Annotated Shakespeare series enables readers to fully understand and enjoy the plays of the world's greatest dramatist <br> <br> <br> <br> While England is threatened by the Earl of Northumberland, Young Prince Hal cavorts in London's taverns, accompanied by the dissolute, entertaining Falstaff and his band of rogues. Much of this play's tension involves Prince Hal and Falstaff, as the former tries to live up to his duties and responsibilities. In creating Falstaff, Shakespeare gave us one of the theater's most enduring and memorable characters.<br> <br> <br> <br> This fully annotated version of Henry the Fourth, Part One makes the play completely accessible to readers in the twenty-first century. Eminent linguist and translator Burton Raffel offers generous help with vocabulary, pronunciation, and prosody and provides alternative readings of phrases and lines. His on-page annotations give readers all the tools they need to comprehend the play and begin to explore its many possible interpretations. |
