From the Longman Cultural Editions series, Henry IV , edited by Ronald Levao, is the only paperback edition to bring both Part One and Part Two together in one volume, along with relevant literary and historical contextual materials that illluminate, without overwhelming, the primary texts. This edition presents both parts of Shakespeare's Henry IV plays in the authoritative Bevington edition, tracing the full course of Prince Hal's ambiguous journey from prodigal youth to his role as King Henry V, as well as the controversial career of the tavern "king," Sir John Falstaff. This format allows the plays to be read either as independent works or as parts of a larger paradoxical structure, with each part reflecting, completing, and complicating the other. Contextual materials emphasize the plays' historical background, Shakespeare's transformation of his sources, and the intellectual controversies that are embodied in the dramatic action. Handsomely produced and affordably priced, Longman Cultural Editions consist of the complete text of an important literary work, reliably edited, headed by an inviting introduction, supplemented by helpful annotations, accompanied by a table of significant dates and a guide for further study, followed by contextual materials that reveal the conversations and controversies of its historical moment.
