Henry V
Shakespeare's most rousing history play is the definitive portrait of leadership in English literature.
“Once more unto the breach, dear friends, once more; or close the wall up with our English dead.”
Why It Matters
Shakespeare's most rousing history play is the definitive portrait of leadership in English literature. Henry's speech before Agincourt — "we few, we happy few, we band of brothers" — has been quoted by real generals before real battles. The play also contains enough moral ambiguity about conquest and propaganda to keep it from being simple jingoism.
