Henry IV, Part I

by William Shakespeare

Overview

Memorable historical drama concerns rebellion against King Henry led by Harry Percy ('Hotspur') and other nobles, complicated by the king's difficulties with his wayward son Prince Hal. Superb blend of courtly intrigue, action on the battlefield and low comedy featuring Sir John Falstaff. All brought to life in wonderful blank verse.

"Certainly one of the best of the OXF4 series: informative, intelligent, and independent....This edition is a splendid piece of work, a valuable reference full of original insights and good sense. The commentary notes alone are worth the price of the book."—Shakespeare Quarterly
