One of the earliest printed editions of Shakespeare’s works, this quarto facsimile of Famous Victories of Henry the Fifth offers a rare glimpse into the emergence of the greatest playwright in the English language. The play, which was likely a source of inspiration for Shakespeare’s more famous Henry V, tells the story of the young prince Hal and his transformation into a legendary king. A must-read for anyone interested in the early history of Shakespearean drama.
