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, critical approaches to it and its varied stage
history.
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.
