'It is the superbly generous girth of Shakespeare's Henry IV plays that makes them so remarkable'

Charles Spencer, Daily Telegraph, 15.07.10

'Shakespeare's story of a troubled usurper, a rebel age, a dissolute prince and his Falstaff.'

Libby Purves, The Times, 16.07.10

'This is Shakespeare's masterpeice where diseaeses are turned to commodity, the hostess is eaten out of house and home, citizens are urged to construe the time to their neccessities, and white hairs ill become a fool and jester.'

Michael Coveney, Independent, 16.07.10

David Scott Kastan lucidly explores the remarkable richness and the ambitious design of King Henry IV Part 1 and shows how these complicate any easy sense of what kind of play it is. Conventionally regarded as a history play, much of it is in fact conspicuously invented fiction, and Kastan argues that the non-historical, comic plot does not simply parody the historical action but by its existence raises questions about the very nature of history. The full and engaging introduction devotes extensive discussion to the play's language, indicating how its insistent economic vocabulary provides texture for the social concerns of the play and focuses attention on the central relationship between value and political authority.

David Scott Kastan's lucid exploration of the remarkable richness and ambitious design of "King Henry IV Part I" reveals the play to be almost a treatise on the central relationship between value and political authority.

For over 125 years, The Arden Shakespeare has set the gold standard in annotated, scholarly editions of Shakespeare's plays. Each edition in The Arden Shakespeare Third Series offers a modernised text with comprehensive commentary notes glossing meanings, discussing staging issues and explaining literary allusions, together with a lengthy, illustrated introduction by a leading scholar exploring the play's critical, theatrical and historical contexts.



Praise for the series:

"The gold standard for modern editorial scholarship." – Sixteenth Century Journal

"One of the best regarded scholarly editions of Shakespeare's plays." – The Times

"One of the landmark publishing ventures of our time ... The care for standards, and meticulous attention to detail ... have made The Arden Shakespeare one of the great achievements of modern literary scholarship." – The New Criterion

"Arden 3 stands as a book of memory and of aspiration, a record of our progress as a field and a profession, and a reminder of how much further we have to go ... Editorial practices developed in the Third Series established a precedent for innovation and discipline while producing texts that engaged readers with the most exciting advances of early modern textual studies." – Shakespeare Survey

"[A] priceless contribution to Shakespeare studies ... The Arden editions, attractively produced and increasingly weighty, have become, so to speak, the market standard, the first port of call for students and academics alike." – SEDERI, Yearbook of the Spanish and Portuguese Society for English Renaissance Studies
