  Henry V is a history play by William Shakespeare, believed to be written in 1599. It is based on the life of King Henry V of England, and focuses on events immediately before and after the Battle of Agincourt during the Hundred Years' War. The play is the final part of a tetralogy, preceded by Richard II, Henry IV, part 1 and Henry IV, part 2. The original audiences would thus have already been familiar with the title character, who was depicted in the Henry IV plays as a wild, undisciplined lad known as "Prince Hal." In Henry V, the young prince has become a mature man and embarks on an attempted conquest of France.

作者簡介

威廉‧莎士比亞 William Shakespeare (1564-1616)


  威廉.莎士比亞出生於英國,被公認是英國文學史和戲劇史上最傑出的詩人和劇作家。父親在他十三歲時因經商失敗而破產,他因此無法上大學。他十八歲時娶了大他八歲的Anne Hathaway,育有三名小孩。莎士比亞在1590年成為劇作家,起初只是模仿別的作家寫故事,藉此磨練寫作技巧,後來他越漸歡迎,最後成為成功的演員與劇作家。

  莎士比亞擅於刻畫人物心理,運用生動的戲劇語言扣動讀者心弦,他的故事結構嚴謹、情節豐富多元,更富含人生哲理。他一生共寫了37部作品,可分成四個時期:歷史劇、喜劇、悲劇和浪漫喜悲劇。其中四大悲劇:《哈姆雷特》、《奧賽羅》、《李爾王》和《馬克白》寫於悲劇時期。這些戲劇故事在世界各地不斷地改編、上演,數百年來雋永不朽,為他贏得最偉大的劇作家的聲譽。

  William Shakespeare (1564-1616) was an English dramatist, poet, and actor, generally regarded as the greatest playwright of all time.
