“I had rather be a Kitten, and cry mew, Than one of these same Meeter Ballad-mongers: I had rather heare a Brazen Candlestick turn'd, Or a dry Wheele grate on the Axle-tree, And that would set my teeth nothing an edge, Nothing so much, as mincing Poetrie.”

Renaissance Acting Editions: The First Part of Henry the Fourth, with the Life and Death of HENRY Sirnamed HOT-SPURRE [King Henry IV, Part 1] is a scholarly edition of William Shakespeare's historical play. It is a facsimile of an early printed acting edition, which would have been used by actors and stage managers in the Renaissance. The book includes the complete text of 'Henry IV, Part 1,' with annotations and stage directions that would have been relevant to the performance of the play during that time. It also features a detailed introduction that discusses the historical context of the play and the character of Hotspur, providing insight into the play's themes and the social and political landscape of the period. more
