Henry IV, Part 2: The Oxford Shakespeare by William Shakespeare

Offers a freshly considered text fully alert to its intense theatrical aspects.
The text pages clearly differentiate text, collation, and notes; the documentation is full but inconspicuous; and it has been well proof-read.. Dr Weis provides an economical but illuminating discussion of Shakespeare's sources ... The annotations throughout are lucid and economical, responsive to both levels of plot. ... Rene Weis's edition can be recommended as a thoughtful and sensitive response to the play, which ranks alongside the outstanding 1966 New Arden edition by R A Humphreys. * Brian Vickers, ROES, vol 50 no 200 (1999) *
René Weis is Reader in English Literature at University College, London.
