Description
Edizione: very scarce. from the important theobold oeuvre. although theobold ultimately gave way to johnson in popularity, he remains one of the pre-eminent shakespearean editors. churton collins, writing in the dnb, claimed it “would not be too much to say that the text of shakespeare owes more to theobold than to any other editor.”<br> the collection also draws on two rival editions, j. tonson’s and r. walker’s. although the two are nearly identical, tonson issued an advertisement warning the public against “such useless, pirated, and maim’d editions, as are publish’d by the said r. walker.” <br> some famous quotes from henry iv, part ii:<br><br>i am not only witty in myself, but the cause that wit is in other men.<br>(falstaff, act 1 scene 2)<br><br>since all is well, keep it so: wake not a sleeping wolf.<br>(lord chief justice, act 1 scene 2)<br><br>we are time’s subjects, and time bids be gone.<br>(hastings, act 1 scene 3)<br><br>past and to come, seem best; things present worst.<br>(archbishop of york, act 1 scene 3)<br><br>he hath eaten me out of house and home.<br>(hostess quickly, act 2 scene 1)<br><br>let the end try the man.<br>(prince henry, act 2 scene 2)<br><br>thus we play the fools with the time, and the spirits of the wise sit in the clouds and mock us.<br>(prince henry, act 2 scene 2)<br><br>uneasy lies the head that wears a crown.<br>(king henry iv, act 3 scene 1)<br><br>commit<br>the oldest sins the newest kind of ways.<br>(king henry iv, act 4 scene 4)
