Henry V, the Curtain, Shakespeare and the Manipulation of History

Speaker: James Wright (MOLA archaeologist)

This talk looks at the real life historical events of the Agincourt campaign of 1415 contrasted against the authorship of Shakespeare’s most resilient play which was written against the background of late 16th century political events and has continued to be produced to reflect contemporary life.
