About this title

Synopsis

Experience the raw energy of Shakespeare’s Henry IV, as it was first printed in 1598.

This new edition presents a faithful facsimile of the First Quarto of Henry IV, Part 1, offering the drama in the original spelling and layout you’d find in the 1598 printing. The pages capture the voice, humor, and intensity of early modern theater, with vivid exchanges between Falstaff, the Prince of Wales, Hotspur, and the King itself. Readers can encounter the play much as audiences did more than four centuries ago.

William Griggs’s photo-lithographic facsimile preserves the page-level detail and typographic quirks that make this edition a unique window into Shakespeare’s work and its performance history. It’s a resource for students, scholars, and fans who want a tactile sense of the play’s first-printed form and its dramatic pacing.
