Edited introduced & annotated by Cedric Watts Research Professor of English Literature University of Sussex In Henry IV Part 1 the King is in a doubly ironic position His rebellion against Richard II was successful but now he himself is beset by rebels led by the charismatic Harry Hotspur The King's son Prince Hal seems to be more concerned with the pleasures of the tavern world & the company of the fat rogue Falstaff than with concerns of state Eventually however Hal proves a courageous foe of the rebels This history play is lively in its interplay of political intrigue & boisterous comedy subtle in the connections between high statecraft & low craftiness exuberant in its range of vivid characters & memorable in its thematic concern with honour loyalty & the quest for power In Henry IV Part 2 the King is ailing Falstaff is ageing & the kingdom itself where rebellion is still rife seems diseased or debilitated The comedy has a melancholy undertone & the politics verge on the Machiavellian Eventually the resourceful Hal inheriting the crown as Henry V must prove that he can uphold justice in the realm Here Shakespeare demonstrates a mastery of thematic complexity & subtlety & shows the price in human terms that may be exacted by political success ...

In February 1972 Henry Moore&s sculpture studios in the English countryside at Much Hadham were filled with the preparations for his retrospective exhibition at Florence In search of peace & quiet he went into a smaller room overlooking the fields where a local farmer grazed his sheep The sheep came very close to the window attracting his attention & he began to draw them Initially he saw them as nothing more than four-legged balls of wool but his vision changed as he explored what they were really like
- the way they moved the shape of their bodies under the fleece They also developed strong human & biblical associations & the sight of a ewe with her lamb evoked the mother-&-child theme
- a large form sheltering a small one
- which has been important to Henry Moore in all his work He drew the sheep again that summer after they were shorn when he could see the shapes of the bodies which had been covered by wool Solid in form sudden & vigorous in movement Henry Moore&s sheep are created through a network of swirling & zigzagging lines in the rapid & (in Moore&s hands) sensitive medium of ballpoint pen The effect is both familiar & monumental; as Lord Clark comments & We expect Henry Moore to give a certain nobility to everything he draws; but more surprising is the way in which these drawings express a feeling of real affection for their subject&
