Official synopsis Publisher
Distinguished editor T.W. Craik makes an independent and balanced examination of the many textual problems of Henry V, providing many new emendations.
“Craik’s commentary is particularly ample and detailed, with careful attention to the play’s language, textual problems, the interpretation of stage directions, and Shakespeare’s handling of source materials… he builds up a distinct though traditionalist reading which, critically sympathetic and undogmatic, finds the play at once simple and subtle.” John Jowett, Shakespeare Institute, Stratford-upon-Avon, Shakespeare Survey, 1997
‘With the exceptionally thorough Arden notes, and the extensive editorial coverage, including recent stage history, this Henry V is the one to have.’ Times Higher Education Supplement
‘Craik’s commentary is exemplary in its thorough treatment of critical concerns, glossaries and explanations, theatrical matters, and source material.’ Barry Gaines, University of New Mexico, Shakespeare Quarterly
