    THE ARDEN SHAKESPEARE GENERAL : W. EDITOR J. CRAIG 1899-1906: R. H. CASE, 1909 THE THIRD PART OF KING HENRY THE SIXTH THE WORKS OF SHAKESPEARE THE THIRD PART OF KING HENRY THE SIXTH EDITED BY H. C. HART I METHUEN k Co., Ltd. 36 ESSEX STREET W.C. LONDON uuPR First Published in igio FEB 11955 ry r.F T 957820 CONTENTS PAGE Introduction vii The Third Part of King Henry the Sixth . i — INTRODUCTION [It is greatly to be regretted that owing to the lamented death of the Editor, the three Parts of Henry VI. had not the advan- tage of being printed under his own supervision. But his work has been preserved with all the fidelity permitted by its comparatively rough though otherwise complete condition. In preparing the plays for the press, I have confined my correc- tions to matters of fact, and where I differed from the Editor in matters of opinion, I did not feel justified in altering his words. While I have emended or ascertained the accuracy of nearly every quotation and reference, a very few remain which must be taken on his authority. In the third part I have had the great advantage of advice and help from the General Editor, Professor R. H. Case. C. K. Pooler] The text of j Henry VI. is from the Folio 1623. As was the case with Part II., it receives a few slight emendations from the Quarto (Q i, of which it is an expanded form) known as The True Tragedy (and forming the second part of The Whole Contention) which was first printed in 1595 with this title : The true tragedie of Richard Duke Yorke, and | of the death good King Henrie the Sixt, with the zuholc of | \ contentio?i hetweene the two Houses Lancaster and Yorke, \ | as it was sundrie times acted by the Right Honoura- ble | | the Earle of brooke his seruants.
