Produktbeschreibung

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.

Rezensionen

There is much to admire about Siemon's labours here, and taken in its own edition is a fine resource for those wanting to read a well annotated text of the play or to go deeply into the performance and textual histories of the play... Shakespeare Bookshop Newsletter (December 2009)
