Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

A mix of comedy, tragedy, adventure, heroism, and Machiavellian intrigue and betrayal, Henry V is full of intriguing characters, provocative themes, and skillfully composed language that is by turns touching, inspiring, profound, and funny. A complex work that raises important issues of gender, ethnicity, class, and morality, it invites analysis from many critical perspectives. The essays in this volume explore the richness of the play as a reflection of its own times and as a perennially relevant work of art.
