| Summary | "An English Garner: Ingatherings from Our History and Literature" by Edward Arber is a historical anthology written in the late 19th century. The work compiles significant historical texts and literary pieces from various English authors, showcasing their contributions to the country's cultural and literary heritage. The first volume covers various topics, ranging from battle accounts to love letters, and aims to encapsulate significant events and sentiments that shaped England's narrative. The opening of the anthology begins with a detailed account of John Lydgate's poem about the Siege of Harfleur and the Battle of Agincourt in 1415. Arber sets the tone by discussing King Henry V's determination as he prepares to claim his rightful inheritance in France, despite mockery from the French Dauphin. As the narrative unfolds, the voices of the English soldiers and their fears, hopes, and actions come to life, painting a vivid picture of this historic conflict. Through Lydgate’s words, the text reflects themes of chivalry, royal duty, and the intense emotions surrounding warfare, illustrating the cultural and historical significance of the events in England’s past.
