With its depiction of the victorious English king,
Henry V has divided critical opinion and remains one of the more controversial of Shakespeare”s histories. This new volume in
Shakespeare: The Critical Tradition increases our knowledge of how Shakespeare”s plays were received and understood by critics, editors and general readers. The volume offers, in separate sections, both critical opinions about the play across the centuries and an evaluation of their positions within and their impact on the reception of the play. The chronological arrangement of the text-excerpts engages the readers in a direct and unbiased dialogue, whereas the introduction offers a critical evaluation from a current stance, including modern theories and methods. Thus the volume makes a major contribution to our understanding of the play and of the traditions of Shakespearean criticism surrounding it as they have developed from century to century.
