"Henry V" is perhaps the most celebrated and popular of Shakespeare's history plays. It relates the story of King Henry V, who is determined to restore England to its former glory and re-capture land lost to the French. When the French court rebuffs and insults Henry, he raises a small army to travel to France and re-take the kingdom, doing so against long odds.
The play features some of Shakespeare's most beloved characters, including the braggart Pistol, the besotted Bardolph, the fiery Fluellen and the valiant Exeter, but the plot rests on the shoulders of the eloquent and noble title character, who must inspire his small band of troops to glory against the French army at the Battle of Agincourt.
Some of the finest speeches in the Shakespearean canon appear in "Henry V," ("Once more into the breach" and the powerful Crispin's Day monologue) and the play has been adapted several times for the stage and screen. "The Life of King Henry V" is presented here in its original and unabridged format.

William Shakespeare is generally acknowledged as the greatest dramatist in the history of English literature. Also a poet and actor, Shakespeare was born in Stratford-Upon-Avon, where he received an education at the local grammar school, but whether he attended any educational institution subsequent to his early tutelage is unknown. By eighteen, Shakespeare was married - to an already-pregnant Anne Hathaway - and the couple would go on to have three children, Susanna and the twins Hamnet and Judith. (Hamnet died at 11 years old.) Shakespeare moved to London soon after the birth of the twins and began publishing poems ("Venus and Adonis" (1593) and "The Rape of Lucrece" (1594)) and joined the Lord Chamberlain's Men as an actor and playwright. Shakespeare stayed with the Lord Chamberlain's Men throughout his career, producing some of his finest work - "King Lear," "Macbeth" and "The Tempest" among them - after the company fell under the patronage of King James I and became The King's Men. During his career, Shakespeare penned 38 plays, two narrative poems and over 150 sonnets and enjoyed considerable financial success, eventually buying New Place, one of the largest homes in Stratford. Following his death in 1616 at the age of 52, thirty-six of his plays were collected and published as the First Folio and his entire canon - including his extant plays, sonnets and poems - were published as The Complete Works of William Shakespeare. Shakespeare's plays are the most produced dramatic works in existence and they have been translated and adapted into countless stage, screen and television productions over the years. Entire theatres are devoted to producing his works and his writings are studied and analyzed in literature classes around the world.
