This volume contains the tetralogy of plays--'Richard II', 'Henry IV' Parts 1 and 2 and 'Henry V'--written by Shakespeare c. 1595 to c. 1599. Each play possesses its own distinctive mood, tone and style, and together they inhabit the turbulent period of change from the usurpation to the throne of Richard II by Bolingbroke to the triumph--some would say triumphalism--of heroic kingship of Henry V.

Four Histories: Richard the Second; Henry the Fourth, Part One; Henry the Fourth, Part Two; Henry the Fifth
All the lapidary dialogue that you would expect from Shakespeare, dosed with a surprising amount of early modern ethnic humor (those Welsh and their leeks, ha ha!) I also found the scenes with Falstaff and his fellow tavern denizens to be more grim then funny - on the page, Sir John comes across more like a scheming bully than a jovial buffoon, although it's easy to imagine an actor making the character more likeable onstage. The cycle as a whole doesn't quite stand up to all-time greats like Hamlet or Macbeth, but is still mightily impressive.
