Large 8vo, pp. XIV, 514. Hardcover with dust jacket. Illustrated. Includes bibliography and index. From the series: Yale English monarchs. Biography of Richard II king of England [1367-1400]. Richard II is one of the most enigmatic of English kings. Shakespeare depicted him as a tragic figure, an irresponsible, cruel monarch who nevertheless rose in stature as the substance of power slipped from him. This book - the first full-length biography of Richard in more than fifty years - offers a radical reinterpretation of this complex and fascinating figure. This book therefore is essential reading for anyone with an interest in the politics and culture of the English middle ages. Fine copy in a fine dust jacket.
