Book Overview
The Problem of the Merry Wives of Windsor is a book written by John Mackinnon Robertson in 1917. The book is a critical analysis of William Shakespeare's play, The Merry Wives of Windsor. Robertson examines the play's plot, characters, themes, and language, and argues that it is a flawed work that lacks the depth and complexity of Shakespeare's other plays. He contends that the play was written hastily and solely for the purpose of satisfying Queen Elizabeth I's request for a play featuring the character of Falstaff. Robertson also explores the historical context in which the play was written, including the role of women in Elizabethan society and the portrayal of the middle class. The book is considered an important contribution to Shakespearean scholarship and literary criticism.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
