Description
In this edition of Henry V, the timeless tale of ambition, leadership, and the burdens of kingship is given fresh life through insightful commentary and thoughtful annotations. Set against the backdrop of the Hundred Years' War, the play chronicles the journey of Prince Henry from wayward youth to a worthy monarch, as he rallies his troops for a decisive battle against the French.
The rich language of Shakespeare is complemented by the expertise of Orgel, Braunmuller, and McEachern, offering readers both access to the text itself and a deeper understanding of its historical and cultural significance. This collaborative approach allows for a multidimensional exploration of character motivations and the complexities of warfare.
With its themes of honor, nationalism, and the moral ambiguities of conflict, the story remains profoundly relevant. This edition invites both seasoned readers and newcomers to engage with one of Shakespeare’s most celebrated works, encouraging reflection on its enduring relevance in contemporary society.
