1910 William SHAKESPEARE Merry Wives of Windsor Comedy HUGH THOMSON Illustrated

This edition of Shakespeare’s famous comedy, “The Merry Wives of Windsor” is given new life with the artistic flair of Hugh Thomson, whose 40 color plates greatly enrich the story’s presentation. Set in Windsor, England, the play revolves around the humorous misadventures of Sir John Falstaff, a character originating in Shakespeare’s Henry IV plays, as he attempts to court two married women. Written by Shakespeare around 1597, this work diverges from historical narratives, focusing instead on Elizabethan middle-class life. The play holds a unique place in literary history, rumored to have been penned at Queen Elizabeth I’s behest to see Falstaff in a romantic light.
