| Description: |
An authoritative study guide, by one of England's most distinguished Shakespeareans, to Richard II in its theatrical, cultural and political contexts. |
| Synopsis: |
Professor Hattaway's study places Richard II within the contexts of Shakespeare's life and of the strenuous political debates that were taking place at the end of the reign of Elizabeth I. It offers a commentary upon the unfolding action of the play, stressing possible alternative readings of the text, and noting how directors have made particular decisions about these. It ends with two shorter linked chapters on aspects of the play's critical traditions and on selected stage productions. |
