William Shakespeare : Henry IV Parts 1 & 2 (eBook) by C. W.R.D. MoseleyISBN: 9781847600400.
The play is firmly placed in the sequence of history plays from Richard II to Henry V. A chapter examines fully the issues surrounding the Education of a Prince for the rule, concluding with a full exploration of the part played by Falstaff. The final chapters examine the conceptual and ideological implications of the play's languages and styles, and the career of the play, which, especially in Part 1, has been greatly successful in later ages when its original topicality is quite forgotten.
