A fresh look at a play usually regarded as the first component of a
three-part historical epic, this edition argues that Henry VI Part
1 is a 'prequel', a freestanding piece that returns for ironic and
dramatic effect to a story already familiar to its audience. The
play's ingenious use of stage space is closely analysed, as is its
manipulation of a series of setpiece combats to give a coherent
syntax of action. Discussion of the dramatic structure created by
the opposing figures of Talbot and Jeanne la Pucelle, and
exploration of the critical controversies surrounding the figure of
Jeanne, lead to a reflection on the nature of the history play as
genre in the 1590s.
