Opis

Shakespeare's Henry VI plays dramatize contemporary as much as Elizabethan issues: the struggle for power, the manoeuvres of politicians, social unrest, civil war. This edition draws on experience of the play in rehearsal and performance to focus on both its theatricality and contemporary relevance in a wide-ranging introduction and detailed commentary.

Recenzje

Warren's impressively scholarly edition of Henry IV, Part 2 is genuinely new and adroitly negotiates the relation between the Folio and Quarto texts of the play. Warren provides a thorough and exemplary scholarly introduction.
