Synopsis
Richard III is one of the great Shakespearean characters and roles.
James R Siemon examines the attraction of this villain to audiences and
focuses on how beguiling, even funny, he can be, especially in the
earlier parts of the play. Siemon also places King Richard III
in its historical context; as Elizabeth I had no heirs the issue of
succession was a very real one for Shakespeare's audience. The
introduction is well-illustrated and provides a comprehensive account
of the play and of critical approaches to it.
The edition also provides a clear and authoritative playtext, edited
to the most rigorous standards of scholarship, with detailed notes and
commentary on the same page.
With a wealth of helpful and incisive commentary the Arden
Shakespeare is the finest edition of Shakespeare you can find, giving a
deeper understanding and appreciation of his work.

Book Description
King Richard III is one of Shakespeare's most popular and frequently-performed plays. Janis Lull's introduction to this new edition, which is based on the First Folio, emphasises the play's tragic themes--individual identity, determinism and choice--and stresses the importance of women's roles. A thorough performance history of stage and film versions shows how the text has been cut, rewritten and re-shaped by directors and actors to enhance the role of Richard at the expense of other parts, especially those of the women.
