Shakespeare created this complex and subversive Falstaff from a variety of sources. Shakespeare found models in Latin comedy, the miles gloriosus (or braggart soldier) and the witty parasite. And he found at least one model in history: Falstaff was originally named Oldcastle, referring to a Lollard leader martyred during the reign of Henry V. Sir John Oldcastle had already been dramatized in an earlier play, "The Famous Victories of Henry V." pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Literary Criticism src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of University of Toronto Quarterly is the property of University of Toronto Press and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
