With his family's claim to the throne uncertain, Henry seeks to
secure his position by turning the country's attention abroad. But
when his outnumbered army is trapped at Agincourt, disaster seems
inevitable. Shakespeare probes notions of leadership and power in
this iconic depiction of England's charismatic warrior king.
Under the editorial supervision of Jonathan Bate and Eric
Rasmussen, two of today's most accomplished Shakespearean scholars,
this Modern Library series incorporates definitive texts and
authoritative notes from William Shakespeare: Complete Works. Each
play includes an Introduction as well as an overview of
Shakespeare's theatrical career; commentary on past and current
productions based on interviews with leading directors, actors, and
designers; scene-by-scene analysis; key facts about the work; a
chronology of Shakespeare's life and times; and black-and-white
illustrations.
Ideal for students, theater professionals, and general readers,
these modern and accessible editions from the Royal Shakespeare
Company set a new standard in Shakespearean literature for the
twenty-first century.
