 Readers should not expect Cowper’s Henry V to be an exceptional scholarly work. It is, however, a good distillation of the information taken from the sources in the book’s short bibliography. He does articulate and support his argument differentiated between the “mythic” and the historical Henry V. Yet given the book’s length, further in-depth analysis is not possible. Many readers already familiar with these works probably won’t find much new with Cowper’s work. New readers will find it as a good starting point for further research.

Immortalised in the plays of Shakespeare, Henry V is the most famous and celebrated of all England's medieval monarchs. Although his most famous battles and conquests took place in France, Henry, as was common amongst medieval aristocracy, was introduced to battle at an early age when he fought with his father, Henry IV, at the battle of Shrewsbury in 1403. On his accession to the throne, Henry turned his attention towards foreign affairs and the English position in France. This title will examine Henry's key battles and sieges, how he systematically extended English control throughout northern France and how he was perceived by his contemporaries as a military leader. It will also deal with his controversial military decisions, such as the slaughter of the French prisoners at Agincourt. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |

Includes illustrations from Henry’s times, plus modern photos of some of the places where he campaigned, with the focus being on Agincourt.
It’s not written in a scholarly way, so it’s accessible to all readers.
At times, I found it a bit monotonous with the topic being so rigid but I liked it on the most part. (
