The New Cambridge Shakespeare appeals to students worldwide for its up-to-date scholarship and emphasis on performance. The series features line-by-line commentaries and textual notes on the plays and poems. Introductions are regularly refreshed with accounts of new critical, stage and screen interpretations. For this second edition of King Henry V, Shakespeare's most celebrated war play, Andrew Gurr has added a new section to his introduction in which he considers recent criticism and important contemporary productions of the play. Concentrating in particular on 'secret' versus 'official' readings of the work, he analyses Shakespeare's double vision of Henry as both military hero and self-seeking individual, and shows how the patriotic declarations of the Chorus are contradicted by the play's dramatic action. Controversial sequences are placed in the context of Elizabethan thought while the exceptional variety of language and dialect in the text is also studied. An updated reading list completes the edition.

L'édition papier est incroyablement chère, or le livre est au programme de concours cette année... Si vous pouvez vous passer de l'édition papier en un premier temps, la version Kindle est très pratique pour mettre en relief des passages et y associer vos remarques. Quoi qu'il en soit, l'appareil critique est très utile donc cette édition vaut le coup.

5.0 out of 5 stars Read this before seeing the play
Reviewed in the United States on 5 September 2013

I had never read King Henry V before, so when I bought tickets to a performance, I decided I should read the play so I could get more out of the experience. Afterwards, I was so glad I had read the play first -- the notes that go with this edition are very in-depth and helpful to understanding all that Shakespeare intended.
