Henry V (Bantam Classics)

Henry V (Bantam Classics)

A triumphantly patriotic play that also casts a critical eye at war and warriors, this great epic drama depicts a charismatic ruler in a time of national struggle. The young King Henryâ€™s victory over the French despite overwhelming odds creates a spectacle of action, color, and thundering battles. Whether the warrior-king is urging his men â€œOnce more unto the breach, dear friends,â€ or wooing Katharine of France, Henry is magnificently adapted to the role he must play in Englandâ€™s greatness. Henry V represents the culmination of Shakespeareâ€™s art as a writer of historical drama.
