From the Paper:

"William Shakespeare has always been known as one of the most enduring and classic authors of literary works of all time. We have seen his plays many times over and college professors use his works as a springboard to study literature, theater and writing. One of Shakespeare's most interesting works was that of King Henry IV part one. This work details and underscores much of the talent that Shakespeare is well known for. The history of the work ties closely with the life of the author. In addition it was produced in a time where production protocol had some narrow boundaries and guidelines that patrons expected to be followed. Shakespeare used some interesting sources for this work and the historical background of the production is studied as often as the work itself."
