Reviews

The essays in this book about Shakespeare's tragical history of Richard Crookback Gloucester, the disgraced King of England, edited by Connolly (English, Sheffield Hallam Univ.), deal with Richard as a contradiction of king and tyrant, while also delving into more current discussion topics for reading the play, such as disability theory, where to place the piece in terms of genre, and the history of the play on film . each essay has its own fascinating points. This title will be useful to those in college Shakespeare classes who are delving deep into research. -- Nick Philpott Library Journal
