| Summary: | A play alive with escapades and action, comedy and history, Henry IV, Part One begins the transformation of the madcap Prince Hal into the splendid ruler King Henry. In it a rebellion against King and State is juxtaposed with another rebellion-the riotous misbehavior of Hal and his companions, principally Falstaff. A superbly funny liar, coward, lecher, and cheat, the larger-than-life character Falstaff turns this great historical drama into a masterpiece of counterpoint and design.<br> <br> Each Edition Includes:<br> * Comprehensive explanatory notes<br> * Vivid introductions and the most up-to-date scholarship<br> * Clear, modernized spelling and punctuation, enabling contemporary readers to understand the Elizabethan English<br> * Completely updated, detailed bibliographies and performance histories<br> * An interpretive essay on film adaptations of the play, along with an extensive filmography |
