"Henry V" is one of the greatest plays of all time, and one of many truly great plays written by William Shakespeare.He is the true author of this 224-page, February 1962 paperback, but the form in which it is presented- a small paperback book- is the work of many more people. It is part of the series "The Laurel Shakespeare" and was printed by the Dell Publishing Company, Inc. of New York, New York.The book's age is quite visible- its pages and covering have the visible signs of a book that has aged well but unmistakably. In the "Modern Commentary" by Joseph Papp, the word Negro is used at least once when speaking about the casting of Williams. I wasn't much bothered and I don't think it to be something worth raising a fuss over, but it shows the book's age in one more way. At that time, in 1962, such words were still used and by many considered acceptable. The cover, on the top left corner, also shows something worth noting- a marker for a standard selling price of 35 cents. How long has it been since 35c could buy...anything? Nevermind a brand-new paperback book. What money was worth in 1962 and what it is worth now- the difference is quite staggering. Finally, the suggestions for further reading made by Francis Fergusson, General Editor, may not be but so easy to find now. Some of the books mentioned were first printed as long ago as 1924. Don't know how much luck you're going to find books from such years as that now.After the commentary provided in the book- and my notes on just how old this book is getting to be- the play is more or less the rest of the book. An extensive glossary providing definitions of many terms is available towards the end of the book.
