Henry VRandom House Publishing Group, 16 de set. 2009 - 320 pàgines A triumphantly patriotic play that also casts a critical eye at war and warriors, this great epic drama depicts a charismatic ruler in a time of national struggle. The young King Henry’s victory over the French despite overwhelming odds creates a spectacle of action, color, and thundering battles.

Henry V represents the culmination of Shakespeare’s art as a writer of historical drama.
