Informationen zum Autor Charles R. Forker is Professor of English Emeritus at Indiana University, Bloomington. Klappentext The introduction to this edition contains an analysis of the first quarto (including new evidence of its original dating) and a reconsideration of the play's complex relation to the Shakespearean histories that preceded and followed it.
