Brough is a fictional biography written in the mid-19th century. The book brings to life one of Shakespeare's most memorable characters, Sir John Falstaff, exploring his fictional history and the many adventures that led to his legendary status in English literature. Through a blend of humor and historical context, Brough delves into the complexities of Falstaff's character and the societal milieu of his time. The opening of the text sets the stage for an imaginative exploration of Falstaff's life, beginning with an introduction that highlights the difficulties of constructing a biography for such a whimsical and fictional character. It discusses Falstaff's obscured origins and odd anecdotes about his early life, filled with humor and irony. The narrative then transitions into the details of his birth, family lineage, and subsequent adventures, maintaining a light-hearted tone while foreshadowing the knight’s character development and escapades. By establishing the blend of historical elements with Shakespearean flair, Brough invites readers to navigate through the life of Falstaff with both laughter and curiosity.
