Kindle Edition Verified Purchase. No comment on play; it is a classic. The actual document is very good since it is free. There are some misspellings due to the electronic transformation from paper to digital of the play. It is usually the first letter of the word that is wrong. Volunteers did the work on the Kindle edition, not a publishing firm, so perfection is not expected.

However, there are not many errors. In addition, there are lines in French and broken English with Google Translate, you can translate the French lines to see the full meaning. However, it is not necessary since the following English lines provide translation or context to understand the meaning of the French lines. I wish there was foreword or notes in the product but you will need to pay for that service.

I go to Wikipedia or literary note services for background on the play or if there is a section, I do not understand. A couple of months back, I embarked on a personal improvement plan to read all of Shakespeare's plays. Having now pored through most of the history works, I would rank Henry V as one of the best, through Henry V 1 and 2 aren't far behind in terms of accessibility and thus likeability. In fact, I would read these two first before reading Henry V, as you get Prince Harry's elaborate back story, which makes for a better understanding some of the plot points in Henry V.

And these two works include his association with Falstaff, arguably one of the most interesting of all secondary players in the Bard's pantheon of characters. Written in verse, with no prose. It's a beautiful work. But if you're short of time, Henry V is an easy one to tackle. Mass Market Paperback Verified Purchase. This is a play I chose to read for my Play Analysis paper for my Intro.

The language is extremely powerful and memorable, the characters are compelling, and the play itself is exceptional. I definitely highly recommend it for anyone with any interest at all in drama. It is, without question, one of the greatest examples of the genre ever written. As to the edition itself, I found it to be greatly helpful in understanding the action in the play.

The life of Henry V : William Shakespeare ; edited by John Russell Brown.

It has a layout which places each page of the play opposite a page of notes, definitions, explanations, and other things needed to understand that page more thoroughly. While I didn't always need it, I was certainly glad to have it whenever I ran into a turn of language that was unfamiliar, and I definitely appreciated the scene-by-scene summaries. Really, if you want to or need to read Shakespeare, an edition such as this is really the way to go, especially until you get more accustomed to it.

Not only the play itself but the explanation of words and situations on the page across from the scene itself helps even those new to Shakespeare better understand the old English expressions of that time. The life of Shakespeare is told in every book and comments on the play and reference books to look up if you are of a mind to pursue further knowledge of the play and the times.

Nobody beats Folgers Library if you want to understand the best of Shakespeare. The book contains no annotations. The text looks like a badly formatted computer printout. It ends with an eight-page general biography of Shakespeare, author unknown.

In fact, the only attribute in the whole book is on the last page: The text of the biography calls out 79 references, none of which are included in the book. I can only shake my head and repeat:
