"Samuel Crowl's revision and updating of George Lyman Kittredge's edition of I Henry IV makes this useful text even more attractive to a contemporary audience of both general readers and students. Drawing on his extensive knowledge of and sensitivity to Shakespearean performance, Crowl provides a new Introduction,in addition to Kittredge's original, highlighting performance history, together with an essay on "How to Read The First Part of King Henry the Fourth as Performance", which pays particular attention to Orson Welles' Chimes at Midnight and two television productions of the play available on DVD. Crowl has lightly revised and extended Kittredge's annotations, and has added extensive performance notes where appropriate." -- Michael Anderegg, University of North Dakota

"Kittredge's fine edition is expertly adapted and enhanced for the 21st-century readers by Samuel Crowl. His accounts of the play's stage and screen career are especially incisive and illuminating -- the edition can be recommended unreservedly as the starting-point for study and enjoyment of this great and humane play." -- Russell Jackson, University of Birmingham, United Kingdom
