This edition of Shakespeare's most celebrated war play points to the many inconsistencies in the presentation of Henry V. Andrew Gurr's introduction explains the play as a reaction to the decade of war that preceded its writing, and analyzes the play's double vision of Henry as both military hero and self-seeking individual. Professor Gurr discusses the context of Elizabethan law and morality and provides a comprehensive collection of source materials and a history of the play's stage and film adaptations.
