A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

The Merry Wives of Windsor is invested with certain extraneous points of interest, more perhaps than attach themselves to any of Shakespeare splays, as considered apart from their inherent merits. These peculiarities resolve themselves into two groups, which the present Introduction will deal with later on. They are, first, the traditional matter which has come down to us, as we believe, regarding not only the production of the play but also the actual personality of one of the characters; and, secondly, the picture the play gives us of country life, sports, and manners in England, which we have not elsewhere drawn for us with the same fulness byS hakespeare. The first group of these characteristics is mainly debatable and uncertain ground, unfortunately so, for the subject is of the utmost interest with regard to the author. For the second, those who run may read in the play itself. Before going into these matters, let us study the sources of our text, and the date of the plays appearance. The text of theM erry Wives is that of the 1623 Folio. The three later Folios, reproductions of the first, require no further mention here.
