Richard III is one of the great Shakespearean characters and roles. In his introduction, 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 and of critical approaches to it. This edition also provides a clear and authoritative text, 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, providing a deeper understanding and appreciation of his work.
