The inenrkingship of Shakespeare’s Henry V, Chalquist, Craig; http://www.thineownself.com/growking.html
Let’s forego the easy literal interpretations of this war ( a greedy thrust for land, a monarch’s reaction to feeling humiliated, etc.) and consider it from a deeper psychological level fruitful of many points of view, An expedition into foreign territory can mean a form of inward advancement, an expansion of one’s psychological territory, an increase of consciousness, a taking up of new potentialities. “There is game in the field, “ remarks Line Five of the I Ching Hexagram in The Army; “it furthers one to catch it.” Henry is spreading out and pushing past his usual boundaries, and taking back the ancestral lands might signify getting back in touch with the very deepest layers of the psyche, the collective inheritance noted by Jung. The incompetent French Court might remind us of any worldly power that holds illegitimate sway over some fertile sacred possession; human history –in this case rewritten by Shakespeare for dramatic purposes – is filled with Pharisees doing business in the temple, or landowning potentates taxing the rightful residents.
Grant: a biography. Wm. S. McFeely p. xiii
. . . whether it was fought to end slavery or to preserve the union, that war was also an outlet for emotional – animal, if you will – energy, an outlet that the society otherwise failed to provide in sufficient measure. Grant’s Story yields a troubling picture of an America, often represented as in a period of boundless opportunity, that offered him and thousand of me like him no chance for fulfillment other than war.
Gran Moves south, Bruce Catton. P. 142
But as they came ashore from the steamboats and streamed out through the fields to select camping grounds and throw pickets forward they were turning themselves into what would finally become one of the great armies of American history – the informal, individualistic, occcasionally unmanageable, but finally victorious Army of the Tennessee.
Grant Moves South, Catton p. 261-2
It is always hard to say just what an army had on its mind at any given moment especially when that army has been out of existence for the better part of a century, but a careful study of the available indicators of army morale does not show any especial feeling against Grant, on the part of the soldiers, in the period immediately after Shiloh. After all, Shiloh had been a victory – damnably expensive, but nevertheless a victory – and as they bucked down to camp routine in the days following the battle the men came to feel that they had done a great thing. Before they had been a conglomeration of separate regiments; now they were an army, and an army that was beginning to be very proud of itself. This army would never feel that it owed a great deal to any general. It would not develop or anyone, the kind of rapturous adoration which the Army of the Potomac would bestow on General McClellan; nor would it ever feel the intense, bitter dislike and distrust for McDowell and Burnside. Here, taking its characteristic shape in the camps above Pittsburg Landing, was the Army of the Tennessee, which would presently come to believe that it could never be beaten. It did not acquire that belief under a general in who it had no confidence.
