Description
The King Richard II edition offers a fresh perspective on Shakespeare's second tetralogy of history plays, exploring the play's relationship to the other works in the sequence. The richly annotated edition places the play in its political context, examining its relation to competing theories of monarchy and the censorship it faced due to possible comparisons with Elizabeth I. This edition also considers Shakespeare's use of sources, asking why he chose to emphasize one approach over another.
