KING HENRY V - WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE KARTONIERT (TB)

Distinguished editor T.W. Craik makes an independent and balanced examination of the many
textual problems of Henry V  providing many new emendations. He begins his illustrated
introduction with a commentary on the date and sources of the play  before taking up the
problem of the Quarto and Folio texts  in Craik's view  the Quarto texts are evolving and
incomplete versions of the play  with the First Folio best representing what was written by
Shakespeare himself and performed to the public. Following his own substantial critical
analysis King Henry V  the editor surveys other critical approaches to the play and lays out
its performance history. Preceding the play itself is an explanation of Craik's text  with more
analysis of the Quarto and Folio versions shedding light on the arduous process of compiling an
edition of Shakespeare. Five appendices follow the play: The First Quarto of 1600  a map of
France and the south of England  a map of the route of Henry V's army from 13 August to 17
November 1415  a genealogical table  and a doubling chart. The edition also includes a list of
abbreviations used for reference.
