#Shakespeare #HenryIVPart1 I don’t want to offend anyone, but his historical plays are so meh. The most interesting act is the last one, so it’s really difficult to get into the play. Falstaff saves the day.

Delightful visit to the wonderful #berwickhouse today with the #Shropshire branch of @oxforduni society!

This fellow #historichouses house also has a fascinating link to #Shakespeare: via #henryivpart1 - it was #Hotspur's rebel camp!

"Besides, no one could tell how an eldest son might turn out after he 'succeeded'. This was a favourite theme of Chips Lovell's, who used to talk of the 'classic case of Henry V and Falstaff'." #AnthonyPowellTogether #HenryIVpart1 #HenryIVpart2 #HenryV_2024

A few of us are reading the Henriad and reveling in the sharp language, classic themes and baudy details. #HenryIVpart1 #HenryIVpart2 #HenryV_2024 (we've saved the Richards for last, unintentionally).

I recall a former Clerk of the House of Commons describing the situation with reference to Shakespeare’s Henry IV, part 1:

Glendower: I can call spirits from the vasty deep.
Hotspur: Why, so can I, or so can any man; But will they come when you do call for them?

"'Like Glendower, Barnby,' said Maclintock, 'you can call spirits from the vasty deep. With Hotspur, I ask you, will they come?'"
Casanova's Chinese Restaurant, 38.

Fascinating- remember those short acts in #HenryIVpart1 ? So it depends on the material whether to break into separate scenes or not. 🧐

#HenryIVpart1 "But how if honour prick me off when I come on? How then? Can honour set to a leg? ... What is that word 'honour'? Air. A trim reckoning! ... Honour is a mere scutcheon: and so ends my catechism." Wise Falstaff connects honor & death. Act V s.1. #Honour #Honor 📚#Falstaff #War

I am the Prince of Wales; and think not, Percy,
To share with me in glory any more.
Two stars keep not their motion in one sphere;
Nor can England brook a double reign

Hello #HenryIVpart1 readers- we'll start #HenryIVpart2 on Oct. 28th.
Thoughts on whether to follow that with Henry V or a comedy?

Falstaff
…thou gets not my sword,but take my pistol if thou wilt.
Prince
Give it me: what, is it in the case?
Falstaff
Ay, Hal, ‘tis hot,; there’s that will sack a city.

The Prince draws it out,and finds it to be a bottle of sack.

Prince

Tell your nephew,
The Prince of Wales doth join with all the world
In praise of Henry Percy. . . .
I do not think a braver gentleman, . . .
More daring or more bold, is now alive
To grace this latter age with noble deeds. 86-92

The King hath sent to know
The nature of your griefs, and whereupon
You conjure from the breast of civil peace
Such bold hostility, teaching his duteous land
Audacious cruelty. 41-45
