The history in it is not very good. Shakespeare compresses events at will. The idea of who the protagonist and antago- Ian Gallanar. Photo by Theatre nists are in this play might not match the historical record. Consultants Collaborative Inc. The play is not as deeply moving or profound as King Lear or Hamlet. Instead, what makes this play great are Shakespeare’s craftsmanship and innovation. Richard, Duke of Gloucester is one of the greatest anti-heroes in the theater. Shakespeare prac- tically invents for the stage the notion that our main fi gure can be villainous and yet, somehow, likable. Why? Because he’s entertaining, he’s funny, he’s wicked, and he speaks to us directly. The anti-hero is a creation that has stood the test of time. My favorite period of Shake- speare in performance is the era in which troupes of actors toured the California gold rush towns. Their productions were deeply important to these guys in the middle of nowhere trying to strike it rich.

  • The Enduring Appeal of Richard III
    The Enduring Appeal of Richard III Harriet Jordan, 2002 Written as part of the M.Litt. program at the University of Sydney, in the subject Medieval Crime Fiction. It has indeed been confidently asserted that [Richard the 3d] killed his two Nephews & his Wife, but it has also been declared that he did not kill his two Nephews.1 Richard III has been a presence in the popular imagination for centuries. There are, however, two radically different Richard IIIs appearing in the works of novelists, historians and playwrights/filmmakers. On the one hand, we have the traditional Evil Richard, who may have first appeared in writing in the histories of Polydore Vergil (1534) and Sir Thomas More (1543 and 1557), but who undoubtedly gained his ongoing fame – or infamy – as a result of William Shakespeare’s The Tragedy of Richard III, and the earlier Henry VI plays. Opposing him is Defamed Richard, who first saw light of day in 1619 with Sir George Buck’s five-part The History of the Life and Reigne of Richard the Third, but whose main impact on the public consciousness came as recently as 1951 with the publication of Josephine Tey’s The Daughter of Time. Unlike virtually any other historical figure, Richard III manages to be both “an enduring symbol of evil and conversely a white knight whose honour has been besmirched by his enemies.”2 Thus, his ongoing appeal arises from a number of very different sources. When Shakespeare wrote his Richard III, England was still under the rule of the Tudors, and so it would hardly have been politic to present Richard in a sympathetic light.

SUMMATION . , BIBLIOGRAPHY . , iii CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION Although critics have levelled reams of comment against its faults, The Tragedy of King Richard the Third has been from its first performance one of -Shakespeare's most popular plays. The first quarto edition of 1597 was followed by seven other quartos before 1635. The two Folio editions, 1623 and 1632, made a total of ten different printings of the play in the first forty years of its life.-'- There are many reasons for the popularity of this play, not all of which are directly related to the play itself or to. its literary value. There was, during the last decade of the sixteenth century, a revival of interest in the events of the civil wars and the last years of the Plantagenet reigns. Particularly, this interest showed itself in the writing and reprinting of many works which dealt with those turbulent days.

And though I've always harbored doubts that Richard was as bad as he's been depicted, I also don't buy Worth's paragon of virtue. The book represents the difficult choices that rulers had to make and what rulers at that time represented to the people. It really had a great flow from one chapter to the next, each beginning with its own little ominous and overshadowing quote. Henry, who had three younger brothers and was himself in his prime and recently married to the French princess, Catherine of Valois , [24] did not doubt that the Lancastrian right to the crown was secure. He over-reached himself with his plan to invade Burgundy in alliance with the King of France, tempted by King Louis' promise of territory in the Netherlands as a reward. Sep 29, Natasa rated it really liked it Shelves: wars-of-the-roses , margaret-of-anjou , elizabeth-woodville , anne-neville , cecily-neville.

  • Elizabeth Woodville
    Elizabeth Woodville Elizabeth Woodville (also spelled Wydville, Wydeville, or Elizabeth Woodville Widvile[nb 1]) (c. 1437[1] – 8 June 1492) was Queen of England as the wife of King Edward IV from 1464 until his death in 1483. At the time of her birth, her family was of middle rank in the English social hierarchy. Her mother, Jacquetta of Luxembourg, had previously been an aunt-by-marriage to Henry VI. Elizabeth's first marriage was to a minor supporter of the House of Lancaster, Sir John Grey of Groby. He died at the Second Battle of St Albans, leaving Elizabeth a widowed mother of two sons. Her second marriage to Edward IV was a cause célèbre of the day, thanks to Elizabeth's great beauty and lack of great estates. Edward was the first king of England since the Norman Conquest to marry one of his subjects,[2][3] and Elizabeth was the first such consort to be crowned queen.[nb 2] Her marriage greatly enriched her siblings and children, but their advancement incurred the hostility of Queen consort of England Richard Neville, Earl of Warwick, 'The Kingmaker', and his various Tenure 1 May 1464 – 3 alliances with the most senior figures in the increasingly divided royal family. This hostility turned into open discord between King October 1470 Edward and Warwick, leading to a battle of wills that finally resulted Coronation 26 May 1465 in Warwick switching allegiance to the Lancastrian cause, and to the Westminster Abbey execution of Elizabeth's father, Richard Woodville, in 1469.
