The Famous Victories Of Henry The Fifth: Containing The Honorable Battle Of Agin-Court (1598) (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781166147648)

The Famous Victories of Henry the Fifth is a historical play that was anonymously published in 1598. The play tells the story of King Henry V, who is depicted as a heroic and virtuous leader, and his victory against the French army at the Battle of Agincourt in 1415. The play is divided into two parts, with the first part focusing on Henry's youthful exploits and his rise to the throne, while the second part deals with the political and military challenges he faces as king. The play is notable for its use of popular ballads and songs, as well as its portrayal of Henry as a popular and beloved monarch. The Famous Victories of Henry the Fifth is considered to be one of the earliest examples of English historical drama, and it has had a significant influence on later works, including Shakespeare's Henry V.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
