"The Life of King Henry V" is a historical play attributed to William Shakespeare, believed to have been written around 1599. It is the final installment in Shakespeare's tetralogy of historical dramas chronicling the reigns of the Lancastrian kings. The play portrays the events surrounding the reign of King Henry V of England, particularly focusing on his military campaign against France during the Hundred Years' War. At the outset of the play, Henry V is depicted as a young and inexperienced king who seeks to assert his authority and unite his kingdom by launching a military expedition to reclaim territories in France. The play follows Henry's journey from a reckless prince to a charismatic leader, culminating in the famous Battle of Agincourt. "The Life of King Henry V" is renowned for its stirring speeches, including Henry's rousing address to his troops before the Battle of Agincourt, famously known as the "St. Crispin's Day Speech." The play also explores themes of leadership, honor, and the nature of warfare, presenting Henry as a complex and morally ambiguous figure.
Autorenporträt
William Shakespeare (bapt. 26 April 1564 ¿ 23 April 1616) was an English playwright, poet and actor. He is regarded as the greatest writer in the English language and the world's pre-eminent dramatist. He is often called England's national poet and the Bard of Avon (or simply the Bard). His extant works, including collaborations, consist of some 39 plays, 154 sonnets, three long narrative poems, and a few other verses, some of uncertain authorship. His plays have been translated into every major living language and are performed more often than those of any other playwright. Shakespeare remains arguably the most influential writer in the English language, and his works continue to be studied and reinterpreted.
