Part of: Shakespeares Comedies, Histories, and Tragedies (facs. 1st Folio 1623) The First part of King Henry the fourth (facs. 1st Folio 1623)

Shakespeare’s King Henry IV, Part One focuses not only on powerful political drama, but on the way that political drama is echoed in the relationship of a father and son. Henry IV has risked everything, including his soul, to take the crown from Richard II, but can his son ever be a worthy successor? This is a facsimile edition of the play from the First Folio edition of 1623.
