King Henry IV Part 2

James C. Bulman is Henry B. and Patricia Bush Tippie Professor of English at Allegheny College, USA and was President of the Shakespeare Association of America (1998-99).

Bulman’s commentary notes are exhaustive, and he highlights many previously unnoted moments of chronicle history influence … Bulman’s new Arden edition does not merely give textual scholars a tight text and graduate students an authoritative survey of sources and theatrical history. It also effectively argues that we should reevaluate the position of 2 Henry IV within the canon. This masterful edition was well worth the wait.
