King Henry IV Part 2: Third Series, Paperback (3rd Ed.)/William Shakespeare

Contributor(s): Author: William Shakespeare Editor: James C. Bulman Editor: Ann Thompson More troubled and troubling than King Henry IV Part 1 , the play continues the story of King Henry's decline and Hal's reform. Though Part 2 echoes the structure of the earlier play, it is a darker and more unsettling world, in which even Falstaff's revelry is more tired and cynical, and the once-merry Hal sloughs off his tavern companions to become King Henry V. James C. Bulman's authoritative edition provides a wealth of incisive commentary on this complex history play.
