King Henry IV (The Arden Shakespeare)

Rating:
Summary: about time!
Review: Arden's are always wonderful but the Henry IV was almost 50 years old--at last there is a new edition and it was actually worth the wait! This is one of the best editions of any Shakespeare play I have ever seen. A must for any high school or college library. A must for any lover of Shakespeare.

Summary: Shakespeare and Arden!!
Review: This is an exemplary edition; beautifully presented and impressively researched. The text is clear, and the notes are models of learning, common sense, and clarity. The introduction, though lengthy, is a remarkable essay in itself, demonstrating exactly why this play has fascinated audiences and readers for 400 years. All serious students of Shakespeare will want this on their shelves.
