Inhalt:
'The Merry Wives of Windsor' is Shakespeare's only English comedy (though it has arguably Italianate roots), following the trend for comedies of 'humours' that were popular on the late Elizabethan stage. It continues the story of Sir John Falstaff, who the audience had last seen being taken away to the Fleet prison at the end of 'Henry IV', part 2. Now a poor knight of Windsor (a retired soldier given accommodation and a small allowance), Falstaff once again plays the lovable rogue in this merry conceit of cozening, linguistic delight and social cross-sectioning
