Descripción
When writing Richard II, Shakespeare moved beyond the workings of political power to examine the human condition of a king and the behavior of men. In Henry IV, he advances even further along this path while introducing, for the first time, a decisive comic element into the historical drama. Rarely does Shakespeare present the relationship between amusement and duty, humanity and authority so clearly, achieving a wealth of contrasts and emotional richness that would not appear again in this genre. This comic world of tavern scenes and popular life centers on Falstaff, one of the author’s most extraordinary creations and one of those figures in world literature who seem to step beyond the page. The two parts of Henry IV belong to Shakespeare’s second tetralogy of English history plays, which begins with Richard II and concludes with Henry V. Translated and edited by Angel-Luis Pujante, winner of the National Translation Prize.
