Publisher's Synopsis

""The Merry Wives of Windsor"" is a comedic play written by William Shakespeare, believed to have been written in the early 1590s. The play is set in the town of Windsor, England and follows the misadventures of Sir John Falstaff, a fat, boastful, and cowardly knight who attempts to seduce two wealthy married women, Mistress Page and Mistress Ford, in order to gain access to their husbands' money. The two women, however, are wise to his intentions and instead plot to humiliate him. Meanwhile, several other subplots involving various townspeople unfold, including a young couple in love, a jealous husband, and a French doctor who doesn't speak English. The play is known for its lively characters, witty dialogue, and farcical situations, and is often considered one of Shakespeare's most light-hearted and entertaining works.Shal.
