Förlagets beskrivning
One of a series on Shakespeare's original texts, including facsimile pages,
this version of "Henry V" is claimed to be, in some ways, the most authentic
version of the play that we have. Included are an introduction, notes, and a
theoretical, historical and contextual critique. The original text - or First Quarto - of "Henry V", published in 1600, is
missing the Chorus, a dramatic device which recent criticism has used to
suggest a strikingly modern view of history and politics. These and other
significant changes mean that critics can no longer assume that the play
presents a distanced, ironic perspective on its own political and military
action. If Elizabethan audiences saw in performance something closer to the First
Folio than the 1623 Folio text, then their dramatic engagement with history was
of a kind very different from that of the play's 20th-century interpreters. This new edition makes available the original text of "Henry V", in all its
theatrical simplicity and historical difference. One of a series on Shakespeare's original texts, including facsimile pages,
this version of "Henry V" is claimed to be, in some ways, the most authentic
