Part of: The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (The Oxford Shakespeare) The Merry Wives of Windsor

Theatrical tradition (probably spurious) has it that Shakespeare wrote Merry Wives of Windsor in response to Queen Elizabeth’s demand to see a play with Falstaff in love. This edition comes from the 1916 Oxford University Press edition of all of Shakespeare’s plays and poems.
