Anotace
To Shakespeare's contemporaries, Richard II was a balanced
dramatisation of the central political and constitutional issue of
the time, how to cope with an unjust ruler. But over the last
century or so, the play came to be regarded as the poetic fall of a
tragic hero. The Introduction to this edition provides a full
context for both the Shakespearean and the modern views of King
Richard's fall. For this updated edition the editor has added a new
section to the Introduction which takes account of the number of
important professional theatre productions and the large output of
scholarly criticism on the play which have appeared in recent
years. The Reading List has also been revised and augmented.
