From Shakespeare's second folio


Shakespeare's famed four folios comprise the first four editions of his collected p🍸lays, all printe🔯d in the 17th century. The second folio of 1632, like the first folio of 1623, contains 36 plays. It is estimated that fewer than 1,000 copies of the Second Folio were printed and fewer than 200 copies are in existence today.


In "Henry V," an insult from a French Dauphin pushes the King of England to 𝔍invade France in order to claim what he believes to be his rightful throne. This play encompasses the events prior to and after the Battle of Agincourt during the Hundred Years' War.
