Part of: The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (The Oxford Shakespeare) The Second Part of King Henry the Fourth
- William Shakespeare (author)
- William James Craig (editor)
Henry IV, Part Two continues the complicated political and family dynamics that marked Henry IV, Part One. This play, though, provides a lesson in the power of diplomacy in the place of battle. This edition comes from the 1916 Oxford University Press edition of all of Shakespeare’s plays and poems.
