ISBN: 9780521735568 / 0521735564 - King Richard III by William Shakespeare, edited by Janis Lull (The New Cambridge Shakespeare Series). Published by Cambridge University Press, 2009. Softcover. Used, Excellent condition. 236 pp.

For this edition of King Richard III, Janis Lull has added a new section to her introduction, in which she focuses on contemporary productions of the play as well as recent scholarly criticism. Lull emphasises the importance of women's roles in this popular drama but shows how the text has frequently been cut, rewritten and reshaped by directors and actors to enhance the role of Richard, often at the expense of female characters. The special relationship between King Richard III and Macbeth is also explored while the notes detail the play's language in terms that are easily accessible to contemporary readers.
