Om Henry V

The authoritative edition of William Shakespeare's historic play Henry V from the Folger Shakespeare Library, the trusted and widely used Shakespeare series for both students and general readers.Henry V is Shakespeare's most famous "war play"; it includes the storied English victory over the French at Agincourt.

Even in the speeches of Henry and his nobles, there are many chilling references to the human cost of war.The authoritative edition of Henry V from the Folger Shakespeare Library includes: -Freshly edited text based on the best early printed version of the play-Newly revised explanatory notes conveniently placed on pages facing the text of the play-Scene-by-scene plot summaries-A key to the play's famous lines and phrases-An introduction to reading Shakespeare's language-An essay by a leading Shakespeare scholar providing a modern perspective on the play-Fresh images from the Folger Shakespeare Library's vast holdings of rare books-An up-to-date annotated guide to further reading-An essay by Catherine Belsey
