Book Overview

Falstaff and Equity: An Interpretation is a book written by Charles Edward Phelps in 1901. The book is an analysis of William Shakespeare's character Sir John Falstaff and his relationship with the concept of equity. Phelps argues that Falstaff embodies the idea of equity, which is the principle of fairness and justice, and that his character represents a critique of the strict legal system of Shakespeare's time. Phelps explores the various aspects of Falstaff's character, including his wit, his love of life, and his disregard for authority, and shows how these traits reflect the principles of equity. The book is a fascinating study of one of Shakespeare's most beloved characters and provides a unique perspective on the themes of justice and fairness in his work.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
