William Shakespeare was an English poet and playwright, widely regarded as the greatest writer in the English language and the world's preeminent dramatist. He is often called England's national poet and the "Bard of Avon". His surviving works, including some collaborations, consist of 38 plays, 154 sonnets, two long narrative poems, and several other poems. His plays have been translated into every major living language and are performed more often than those of any other playwright.

Shakespeare was born in Stratford-upon-Avon in Warwickshire and was baptised on 26 April 1564. Thought to have been educated at the local grammar school, he married Anne Hathaway, with whom he went on to have three children, at the age of eighteen, before moving to London to work in the theatre. Two erotic poems, Venus and Adonis and The Rape of Lucrece were published in 1593 and 1594 and records of his plays begin to appear in 1594 for Richard III and the three parts of Henry VI. Shakespeare's tragic period lasted from around 1600 to 1608, during which period he wrote plays including Hamlet and Othello. The first editions of the sonnets were published in 1609 but evidence suggests that Shakespeare had been writing them for years for a private readership.

Shakespeare spent the last five years of his life in Stratford, by now a wealthy man. He died on 23 April 1616 and was buried in Holy Trinity Church in Stratford. The first collected edition of his works was published in 1623.

    2.0 out of 5 stars Seriously disappointing.
    Reviewed in Canada on July 4, 2004
    At risk of causing my reviewer rating to suffer the slings and arrows of outraged lovers of all things Shakespeare, I must say that I was seriously disappointed by this work; it hardly seems worthy of the Bard. 90% of this story was dialogue in which, alternately, English soldiers spoke of what they were going to do to the French, and French soldiers spoke of what they were going to do to the English. This was followed by a few fight scenes, and then the English crowing about how they'd succeeded in doing what they'd bragged they were going to do, and the French bemoaning their failure to live up to their boasts. Then Shakespeare tried to paste a love story ending onto a play that had absolutely no hint of one before then, and which rang even hollower than Shakespeare's love stories usually do. Granted, the language is typically Shakespearean, if not his most memorable, and the little bit of the story not accounted for in the preceding description was a fairly enjoyable glimpse of the character of King Henry as he was in Henry IV, part I, when as Prince Hal he was actually entertaining, but it wasn't nearly enough to rescue an otherwise thoroughly uninteresting story.
    I cannot fathom why this is described as one of the most popular of Shakespeare's history plays.

    I find it difficult to read S's plays and this edition makes that difficulty disappear. The design = readability. With this edition, S's plays are fun to read.

    My son who is studying physics and engineering is an amazing young actor. In elementary, middle, and high school he performed in over 35 major theatre productions including 8 Shakespeare productions. He is a senior in high school and now preparing for H5 audition. He thinks this is the best resource book available and has used the Folger library to prepare for all of his Shakespeare productions.

    5.0 out of 5 stars A rare treat for students of Shakespeare's Henry V
    Reviewed in the United States on May 11, 2009
    Verified Purchase
    While this book was originally printed more than 130 years ago, it is an interesting artifact and a valuable tool for people interested in the two forms of Shakespeare's play King Henry V. The front matter by P.A. Daniel is particularly enlightening with respect to 19th century thought about this play.

    Page 22 is reprinted as page 23, and this error throws off the notion that opposing pages are truly parallel texts, but that small error is easily overcome by looking to the following page. This interesting bit of esoterica is highly recommended to Shakespearean scholars.
