James R Siemon examines the attraction of this villain to audiences and  focuses on how beguiling, even funny, he can be, especially in the  earlier parts of the play. Siemon also places King Richard III in  its historical context; as Elizabeth I had no heirs the issue of  succession was a very real one for Shakespeare's audience. The  introduction is well-illustrated and provides a comprehensive account  of the play and of critical approaches to it.  The edition also provides a clear and authoritative  playtext, edited to the most rigorous standards of scholarship, with  detailed notes and commentary on the same page.  With a wealth of helpful and incisive commentary the Arden  Shakespeare is the finest edition of Shakespeare you can find, giving a  deeper understanding and appreciation of his work.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"HUNTS BOOKSHOP LTD","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56970110927229,"sku":"9781903436899","price":9.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0514\/8635\/9739\/files\/9781903436899.jpg?v=1758388401","url":"https:\/\/huntsbookshop.pro\/products\/9781903436899","provider":"Hunt's Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
