SHAKESPEARE'S MERRY WIVES OF WINDSOR:--Complete & Unabridged, formatted for kindle to improve your reading experience --Linked Table of Contents to navigate easilyBOOK DESCRIPTION:The Merry Wives of Windsor is a comedy by William Shakespeare, first published in 1602, though believed to have been written prior to 1597. The Windsor of the play's title is a reference to Windsor Castle in Berkshire, England, and though nominally set in the reign of Henry IV, the play makes no pretence to exist outside contemporary Elizabethan era English middle class life. It features the character Sir John Falstaff, the fat knight who had previously been featured in Henry IV Parts 1 and 2
Reviews
The Merry Wives make mincemeat of rude pompous Falstaff, playing all coquettish and lovely on the surface. Shakespeare can be tough to translate into today's English, but the antics of the women are timeless.
