Synopsis

A new edition of William Shakespeare's classic history play The Life of Henry the Fifth (or, more concisely, Henry V). This play tells the remarkable story of England's King Henry V, his leadership during the Hundred Years' War and his stunning victory at the Battle of Agincourt. Previously depicted in Henry IV, Pts. 1 and 2, as the undisciplined, but charming Prince Hal, the Henry of this play has matured into an inspiring leader and one of England's greatest kings. Featured in this play is one of Shakespeare's most memorable and often quoted orations, Henry V's famous St. Crispin's Day Speech:

"We few, we happy few, we band of brothers;
For he to-day that sheds his blood with me
Shall be my brother; be he ne'er so vile,
This day shall gentle his condition;
And gentlemen in England now a-bed
Shall think themselves accurs'd they were not here,
And hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks
That fought with us upon Saint Crispin's day."

This edition is based on the original Cambridge editions, first published for the general public in the 1860s, and is designed for reading ease -- the size of a standard mass market paperback, it is convenient enough to fit in your pocket, briefcase, or purse, but it features font size large enough for easy reading in any setting, margins wide enough to be marked up by students of all ages, and paper durable enough for reading again and again.
