Includes bibliographical references.

This new edition of Shakespeare's most celebrated war play points to the many inconsistencies in the presentation of Henry V. In his substantial introduction Andrew Gurr explains the play as a reaction to the decade of war which preceded its writing; he analyses the play's double vision of Henry as both military hero and self-seeking individual, discusses the context of Elizabethan law and morality, and provides a full account of the play's sources and its subsequent life on the stage and screen
