Distinguished editor T.W. Craik makes an independent and balanced
examination of the many textual problems of "Henry V," providing
many new emendations. He begins his illustrated introduction with a
commentary on the date and sources of the play, before taking up
the problem of the Quarto and Folio texts; in Craik's view, the
Quarto texts are evolving and incomplete versions of the play, with
the First Folio best representing what was written by Shakespeare
himself and performed to the public. Following his own substantial
critical analysis "King Henry V," the editor surveys other critical
approaches to the play and lays out its performance history.
Preceding the play itself is an explanation of Craik's text, with
more analysis of the Quarto and Folio versions shedding light on
the arduous process of compiling an edition of Shakespeare. Five
appendices follow the play: The First Quarto of 1600, a map of
France and the south of England, a map of the route of Henry V's
army from 13 August to 17 November 1415, a genealogical table, and
a doubling chart. The edition also includes a list of abbreviations
used for reference.
