King Richard the Second (New Penguin Shakespeare)

by William Shakespeare (Author), William Shakespeare (Author), Stanley Wells (Author)

Synopsis

The times have forced changes in the way we look at "Richard II" more than any other of Shakespeare's plays. What to his contemporaries was a balanced dramatisation of the central political and constitutional issue of the time, how to cope with an unjust ruler, has in the last century or so been translated into the poetic fall of a tragic hero.
