Henry VI: Part One is a dramatic tale of the lives of soldiers,
diplomats, kings, and insurrectionists. It depicts the fractious
instability of the court and nobility of fifteenth-century England,
and their squabbles with their French counterparts.
Despite its debut performance in 1592, however, Henry VI: Part One
does not appear in printed form until some thirty years later, in
the 1623 folio. There are many questions, therefore, surrounding
exactly how many people wrote the play, when they did so, how it
was performed, who played what part, and the nature of the
manuscript behind the first performance. In his wide-ranging
introduction, Michael Taylor offers answers to these questions, and
discusses other key issues such as language, structure, performance
history, and the role of women in the play. Taylor edits the play
for students, scholars, and theater-goers with an informative
commentary on all aspects of the language, action, characters, and
staging.
