Arguably the first play in a Shakespearean tetralogy, Richard II is
a unique and compelling political drama whose themes still resonate
today. It is one of the few Shakespeare plays written entirely in
verse and its format presents unique theatrical challenges.
Politically engaged and controversial, it raises crucial debates
about the relationship between early modern art, audience response
and state power. This collection provides a comprehensive and
up-to-date survey of the critical and theatrical history of the
play. The substantial introduction surveys the history of critical
interpretations of Richard II since the eighteenth century. The
eleven newly written critical essays by leading and emerging
scholars in the field then adopt an eclectic range of critical
approaches that encourage scholars and students to pursue new and
imaginative directions with the text.
