Agincourt! Know ye not Agincourt?\" So began a ballad of around 1600. Since the event itself [25 October 1415], the great military engagement has occupied a special place in both English andFrench consciousness, respectively as either one of the greatest military successes ever, or as the \"accursed day\". Much ink has been spilt on the battle but do we really know Agincourt? Not since Harris Nicolas's History of the Battle of Agincourt (1827-33) has there been a full attempt to survey the sources until now: this book brings together, in translation and with commentary, English and French narrative accounts and literary works of the fifteenth century. It also traces the treatment of the battle in sixteenth-century English histories and in the literary representations of, amongst others, Shakespeare and Drayton. After examining how later historians interpreted the battle, it concludes with the first full assessment of the extremely rich administrative records which survive for the armies which fought \"upon Saint Crispin's day\". \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e ANNE CURRY is Professor of Medieval Historyat the University of Southampton. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e CONTENTS Twenty-six chronicle sources, English and French\u003cbr\u003e Accounts from six sixteenth-century English historians\u003cbr\u003e Twenty-one records of contemporary reception of the battle, and the development of the literary tradition, in England and France\u003cbr\u003e Summaries of interpretations from the eighteenth to the twentieth centuries\u003cbr\u003e Excerpts from eighteen administrative records relating to the Englishand French armies\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Anne Curry\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Boydell Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/05\/2000\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 490\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.90lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 1.06d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780851158020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eCurry, Anne:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - Anne Curry is Emeritus Professor of Medieval History at the University of Southampton, and author of many works on the Hundred Years War, particularly on the battle of Agincourt.
