Reviews
a nuanced and well-written study ... I would recommend this fascinating, engaging book to those interested in Shakespeareas drama, the reception history of Richard III, early modern collective memory, or sixteenth- and seventeenth-century attitudes towards the recent English past. Chloe Kathleen Preedy, Renaissance Studies At a time when historicism as a method is frequently critiqued as an outmoded and limiting mode of literary scholarship, Schwyzer's study wonderfully achieves its goal of making readers 'think more deeply about what it means to set and see a work of art within its historical context'. Its concept of history is fluid and dynamic and its attention to both historical detail and textual nuance is exemplary. Ian Frederick Moulton, Literature and History Although the book is not for those wishing to read a new analysis of the king's life and reign, it is an excellent study in how his reputation was formed during the Tudor era. It is well written and contains several useful illustrations. Matthew Ward, The Ricardian entrancing Dominique Goy-Blanquet, Review of English Studies
