Edited, introduced and annotated by Cedric Watts, M.A., Ph.D.,
Emeritus Professor of English, University of Sussex. Richard II is
one of Shakespeare's finest works: lucid, eloquent, and boldly
structured. It can be seen as a tragedy, or a historical play, or a
political drama, or as one part of a vast dramatic cycle which
helped to generate England's national identity. Today, to some of
us, Richard II may appear conservative; but, in Shakespeare's day,
it could appear subversive: 'I am Richard II', declared an
indignant Queen Elizabeth. Numerous recent revivals in the theatre
and on screen have demonstrated the enduring power and poignancy of
this drama of the downfall of an egoistic but pitiable monarch.
Richard II is the seventeenth volume in the Wordsworth Classics'
Shakespeare Series, in which each volume has been freshly edited by
Cedric Watts.
