　　This updated edition offers a strongly theatrical perspective

on the origins of Shakespeare's First Part of King Henry IV and the

history of its interpretation. The introduction clarifies the

play's surprising, de-centred dramatic structure, questioning the

dominant assumption that the drama focuses on the education of

Prince Hal. It calls attention to the effects of civil war upon a

broad range of relati***hips. Falstaff's unpredictable vitality is

explored, togethe***ith important contemporary values of honour,

friendship, festivity and reformation. Extensive lexical glosses of

obscure, ambiguous or archaic meanings make the rich wordplay

accessible. The notes also provide a thorough commentary on

Shakespeare's transformation of his sources (particularly

Holinshed's Chronicles) and suggest alternative stagings. This

updated edition contains a new introductory section by Katharine A.

Craik, which describes recent stage, film and critical

interpretati***, and an updated reading list.
