Copiously annotated editions of the play have been prepared by W. J. Rolfe (New York, 1882) and by H. C. Hart (Arden Shakespeare, London, 1910). The edition in the Henry Irving Shakespeare, prepared by F. A. Marshall, also contains very full notes and a valuable introduction. That in the Bankside Shakespeare (New York, 1892) is useful because it presents on opposite pages the texts of The Third Part of Henry VI and of The True Tragedy.
