Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book explores Sir John Oldcastle, a historical figure who featured in Shakespeare's Henry IV plays under the fictional name of Falstaff. The author examines the reasons behind this change of name, suggesting that it was due to pressure from Puritan factions who objected to the portrayal of Oldcastle as a comic figure. The book also discusses the sources used by the author of the play, including Holinshed's Chronicles and Foxe's Book of Martyrs. Thematic depth is achieved through an exploration of the complex relationship between historical fact and literary fiction, as well as an examination of the religious and political tensions of the time. This book provides valuable insights into the historical and literary context of Shakespeare's work, shedding light on the interplay between historical figures and their fictional representations.
