The Oxford Shakespeare: Henry VI, Part One

Completing the trilogy, this play is for students, scholars, and theatre goers with a commentary on the language, action, characters, and staging. This is a tale of the lives of diplomats, kings, and insurrectionists, the instability of the court and nobility of fifteenth-century England, and their squabbles with their French counterparts.

Klappentext
With a newly added critical commentary by Phyllis Racklin and commentaries by other noted Shakespeare scholars, this edition provides three of Shakespeare's great history plays in one comprehensive volume.

Zusammenfassung
1 Henry VI was the Rose's great draw in the Spring of 1592, and is a dramatic tale of the lives of soldiers, diplomats, kings, and insurrectionists; the fractious instability of the court and nobility of fifteenth-century England, and their squabbles with their French counterparts. Despite its debut performance in 1592, however, 1 Henry VI does not take a printed form until its appearance some thirty years later in the 1623 folio. There are many questions, therefore, surrounding exactly how many people wrote the play, when they did so, how it was performed, who played what part, and what was the nature of the manuscript behind the first performance. In his wide-ranging introduction, Michael Taylor offers answers to these questions, and discusses other key issues such as language, structure, performance history, and the role of women in the play.
