Oxford Paperbacks The Tragedy of King Richard III (Oxford Shakespeare S.)
Now is the winter of our discontent, intones Richard, Duke of Gloucester at the beginning of Shakespeare's <I>Richard III</I>, one of his most abidingly popular plays, and one of the most chilling portrayals of political tyranny ever seen on stage. Richard emerges from the chaos which surrounds the reign of Henry VI, already dramatised by Shakespeare earlier in his career, determined to become king by removing his elder brother Edward IV by convincing him that their brother Clarence is plotting against the crown. The deaths of both Clarence and Edward take Richard inexorably towards the crown, and the series of murders and conspiracies that Richard masterminds confirms his claim that I am determined to prove a villain. Richard's political and sexual charisma are truly chilling, and his seduction of Lady Anne, over her husband's corpse is one of the most disturbing scenes in Shakespeare. At another level, the play is also a strongly anti-Yorkist play, which has a vested interest in portraying Richard as such as vicious tyrant before seeing him toppled, ushering in a period of rule which prefigured the Tudor dynasty of which Elizabeth I was herself a part. The play has had a deep and lasting influence on audiences and writers; Brecht rewrote the play as <I>The Resistible Rise of Arturo Ui</I>, while both Laurance Olivier and Ian Mckellen have produced memorable film versions of <I>Richard III</I>, the latter updating the play into a 1930s fascist state ruled over by a Richard akin to Oswald Mosley. --<I>Jerry Brotton</I>

Penguin Books Ltd King Richard II (New Penguin Shakespeare S.)
One of Shakespeare's finest history plays, <I>Richard II</I> deals with one of the most sensitive and politically explosive issues of its day--the rights and wrongs of deposing a legitimately appointed king. Forerunner to the two parts of <I>Henry IV</I>, the play deals with the abdication of King Richard II in 1399, the subsequent succession of Bolingbroke, the future King Henry IV, and Richard's death in the spring of 1400. But the play has been celebrated above and beyond its stature as historical drama. <I>Richard II</I> begins with a portrait of Richard as a pompous, arrogant and self-regarding sovereign, with little sense of his people or his political responsibilities. As he consistently miscalculates in his attempts to destroy Bolingbroke, and watches his own power wane, he becomes a far more appealing, Hamlet-like figure, more interested in talk of graves, of worms and epitaphs, and sad stories of the death of kings. Richard's speeches become increasingly lyrical and poetic as his supporters desert him, until he finally takes on the stature of the pilloried Christ in the climax of the play, the deposition scene, one of the most politically risky scenes in all of Shakespeare. The play remains most famous for John of Gaunt's This royal throne of kings, this sceptred isle speech, but historians believe that the play was also performed in the streets of London in 1601 in support of the Earl of Essex's attempt to depose Elizabeth I. Whilst the plot failed, it showed the power of the theatre of the time, and the politically controversial nature of Shakespeare's play. --<I>Jerry Brotton</I>
