无比欢乐的爱情喜剧;伊丽莎白女王钦点莎士比亚命题创作;自命风流的约翰·福斯塔夫爵士偷情记。
In 1702 the poet and critic John Dennis rewrote The Merry Wives of Windsor with the title The Comical Gallant: or, the Amours of Sir John Falstaff. Dennis claimed that the original Shakespearean play was a particular favourite of Queen Elizabeth. Indeed, he reported, ‘This comedy was written at her command, and by her direction, and she was so eager to see it acted that she commanded it to be finished in fourteen days; and was afterwards, as tradition tells us, very well pleased at the representation.’ A few years later, the story was elaborated in the biography appended to Nicholas Rowe’s edition of Shakespeare: the Queen was so well pleased ‘with that admirable character of Falstaff in the two parts of Henry the Fourth’ that she commanded Shakespeare ‘to continue it for one play more, and to show him in love’.
