Written in the early 1590s, Shakespeare?s The Tragedy of Richard the Third dramatizes events from over a century earlier. Based on Sir Thomas More?s unfinished History of Richard III, it portrays Richard as a ruthless, hunchbacked villain, yet compelling and charismatic. Shakespeare?s Richard delivers some of the Bard?s most memorable lines while striving for power. This edition is part of the Arcturus Shakespeare Editions series, featuring striking contemporary covers, and includes an introduction, glossary, and timeline, based on the First Folio text.
