Items related to Henry V (The ^AWorld's Classics)
The climax of Shakespeare's sequence of English history plays, this book is a celebration of a young warrior-king. It is also a study of the costly exhilarations of war and of the penalties, as well as the glories of human greatness. The editor, Gary Taylor, shows how Shakespeare shaped his historical material, examines controversial critical interpretations, discusses the play's fluctuating fortunes in performance, and analyzes the range and variety of Shakepeares characterization. The first folio text is radically rethought, making original use of the "First Quarto" (1600). Gary Taylor is the author of "Reinventing Shakespeare: A Cultural History from the Restoration to the Present", co-author of "Modernizing Shakespeare; Spelling" (with Stanley Wells) and co-editor of "The Division of the Kingdoms: Shakespeare's Two Versions of King Lear" (with Michael Warren).

Book Description:
Like every other play in the Cambridge School Shakespeare series, King Henry V has been specially prepared to help all students in schools and colleges. This version of Henry V aims to be different from other editions of the play. It invites you to bring the play to life in your classroom through enjoyable activities that will help increase your understanding. You are encourage to make up your own mind about the play, rather than have someone else's interpretation handed down to you. Whatever you do, remember that Shakespeare wrote his plays to be acted, watched and enjoyed.
