Description
Agincourt: A Battle that Shaped English Identity By Anne Curry, Oxford University Press, 2015 The Battle of Agincourt is one of the most enduring cultural legacies in history, with a lasting impact on English identity and society. Yet, how did this battle come to mean so much to so many people? This book explores the complex story behind Agincourt, from its significance in the Hundred Years War to its reinvention by Shakespeare and beyond. Curry examines the immediate responses to the battle, as well as its enduring influence on national identity, literature, and music. From the 18th century onwards, Agincourt was used to explain national identity, giving rise to jingoistic works in print and music. This book sheds new light on the cultural legacy of Agincourt, revealing a rich and complex story that spans centuries. Hardcover, 256 pages.
