About King Henry IV Part 2: Third Series
Product Description More troubled and troubling than King Henry IV Part 1, the play continues the story of King Henry's decline and Hal's reform. Though Part 2 echoes the structure of the earlier play, it is a darker and more unsettling world, in which even Falstaff's revelry is more tired and cynical, and the once-merry Hal sloughs off his tavern companions to become King Henry V. James C. Bulman's authoritative edition provides a wealth of incisive commentary on this complex history play. Review “Bulman’s commentary notes are exhaustive, and he highlights many previously unnoted moments of chronicle history influence … Bulman’s new Arden edition does not merely give textual scholars a tight text and graduate students an authoritative survey of sources and theatrical history. It also effectively argues that we should reevaluate the position of 2 Henry IV within the canon. This masterful edition was well worth the wait.” -Shakespeare Quarterly"James C. Bulman’s edition of Shakespeare’s King Henry IV, Part 2 includes an extremely informative introduction which breathes new life into this often-neglected play. Bulman expertly navigates the difficult textual terrain―neither the Quarto (which appeared in two issues) nor the Folio provides a fully authoritative copy text―explaining the rationale for his decisions in a detailed but accessible appendix." - Studies in English Literature 1500-1900 About the Author William Shakespeare (1564-1616) was an English dramatist, poet, and actor, generally regarded as the greatest playwright of all time.
