Item description from seller

XIII; 214 S.; Abb.; 8°; kart. Gutes Ex. - Englisch. // THE NEW CAMBRIDGE SHAKESPEARE GENERAL EDITOR Brian Gibbons, University of Miinster ASSOCIATE GENERAL EDITOR A. R. Braunmuller, University of California, Los Angeles From the publication of the first volumes in 1984 the General Editor of the New Cambridge Shakespeare was Philip Brockbank and the Associate General Editors were Brian Gibbons and Robin Hood. From 1990 to 1994 the General Editor was Brian Gibbons and the Associate General Editors were A. R. Braunmuller and Robin Hood. THE FIRST PART OF KING HENRY IV This edition offers a strongly theatrical perspective on the origins of The First Part of King Henry IV and the history of its interpretation. In their Introduction the editors clarify the play's surprising, de-centred dramatic structure, questioning the current assumption that the drama focuses on the education of Prince Hal. They call attention to the effects of civil war upon a broad range of relationships. Falstaff's unpredictable vitality is explored, together with important contemporary values of honour, friendship, festivity, and reformation. Extensive lexical glosses of obscure, ambiguous, or archaic meanings make the rich word-play accessible. The notes also provide a thorough commentary on Shakespeare's trans-formation of his sources (particularly Holinshed's Chronicles) and suggest alternative stagings. The stage history features detailed accounts of major productions since 1945.
