Harrying considers Richard III and the four plays of Shakespeare's
Henriad-Richard II, Henry IV Part 1, Henry IV Part 2, and Henry V.
Berger combines close reading with cultural analysis to show how
the language characters speak always says more than the speakers
mean to say. Shakespeare's speakers try to say one thing. Their
language says other things that often question the speakers'
motives or intentions. Harrying explores the effect of this
linguistic mischief on the representation of all the Henriad's
major figures. It centers attention on the portrayal of Falstaff
and on the bad faith that darkens the language and performance of
Harry, the Prince of Wales who becomes King Henry V.
