- Shaughnessy, Robert. ‘The Last Post: Henry V, War Culture, and the Postmodern Shakespeare’ Theatre Survey 39, no. 1 (1998), pp 41-61.
[Explores the effects of irony, displacement, and disjunction of postmodern cinema on Royal Shakespeare Company productions in the 1980s and early 1990s; then focuses on Matthew Warchus’s Henry V, comparing its engagement with war to that in Laurence Olivier’s film.]
