Description
Shakespeare's history of Henry V's remarkable victory over the French at Agincourt and the subsequent peace between the two nations is also a study of war and kingship.
From his wild youth, Henry comes to embody all of the kingly virtues: courage, justice, integrity and honour.
Ironically these qualities are brought to the fore by the realities of war.
Written at the end of the life of Elizabeth I, Henry V told the British people that with strong leadership, they had little to fear at a time of uncertainty.
Illustrated throughout by Sir John Gilbert (1817-1897), famous for his depictions of historical scenes.
As well as Shakespeare, he illustrated works of Sir Walter Scott, Cervantes, Wilkie Collins and Wordsworth."With an Introduction by Ned Halley.
