Description
Henry IV, Part 1 and Henry IV, Part 2 by William Shakespeare
This dual-volume edition of Shakespeare's history play presents a gripping portrayal of the complexities of power and loyalty in 16th-century England. The King, who once successfully rebelled against Richard II, now faces a new challenge as he navigates the treacherous landscape of his own son's rebellion.
Edited, introduced and annotated by Cedric Watts, Emeritus Professor of English, University of Sussex, this edition offers a nuanced exploration of the interplay between politics and comedy, as well as the human cost of ambition and the pursuit of power.
