Scholarly and valuable

Harriss is not only the editor of this book, but a profligate contributor as well. Not exactly a book but rather a collection of scholarly essays and articles that pertain to all facets of King Henry V's reign such as religion, warfare, diplomacy, law etc. Extremely valuable for students of Henry V, medieval England and even medieval Europe. However, it does touch on specific subjects so unless you are interested in medieval diplomacy, religion and the like it would not make for interesting general reading.
