Richard II is a figure famous in England's national myths - the
king who went insane, the narcissist, the tyrant of Shakespeare's
play. History regards his rule either as that of a superhuman
monarch or a crazed and vicious ruler. But Richard II was a complex
and conflicted man - a person with faults and shortcomings thrust
into a role that demanded greatness. In this book, Kathryn Warner
returns with the first modern biography of Richard II in decades,
to paint a portrait of the king with all of his strengths and
imperfections left in the picture. An aesthete and patron of the
arts as well as a person troubled by a much-maligned 'personality
disorder', Richard II here emerges from behind the mask of a
theatrical character.
