The Merry Wives of Windsor

Informationen zum Autor ""He was not of an age, but for all time,"" declared Ben Jonson of his contemporary William Shakespeare (1564-1616). Jonson's praise is especially prescient, since at the turn of the 17th century Shakespeare was but one of many popular London playwrights and none of his dramas were printed in his lifetime. The reason so many of his works survive is because two of his actor friends, with the assistance of Jonson, assembled and published the First Folio edition of 1623. Klappentext The lovable old rogue of Shakespeare's ""Henriad"" trilogy, Sir John Falstaff and his notorious greed and lechery receive a comic tweaking when the portly knight attempts to seduce a pair of well-to-do country housewives.
