In The Tragedy of King Richard III, Shakespeare chronicles the rise and fall of one of historys most repellent, and the theaters most mesmerizing, figures. This Norton Critical Edition of Richard III is based on the First Quarto (1597) edition of the play with interpolations from the First Folio (1623). The play is accompanied by a preface, explanatory annotations, A Note on the Text, a list of Textual Variants, and eighteen illustrations of seminal scenes from major dramatic productions and film versions of the play.Contexts provides readers with the sources and analogues that informed Shakespeares composition of Richard III. These include excerpts from Robert Fabyans New Chronicles of England and France, Thomas Mores The History of King Richard III, Edward Halls The Union of the Two Noble and Illustre Families of Lancaster and York, A Mirror for Magistrates, and The True Tragedy of Richard III. A selection from Colley Cibbers eighteenthcentury adaptation records the compromised form in which Richard III held the stage for approximately two hundred years before twentiethcentury editors brought it back into recognizable shape. A representative selection of commentary on stage and film reproductions of Richard III is also provided, ranging from reviews of nineteenthcentury productions by William Hazlitt and George Bernard Shaw, a survey of stage performances by Scott Colley, and indepth analyses of twentiethcentury film adaptations by Saskia Kossak, Barbara Hodgdon, and Peter S. Donaldson.Criticism collects eight major pieces of scholarship, including early accounts of the plays major themes by William Richardson and Edward Dowden, modern critical assessments by Wilbur Sanders, Elihu Pearlman, Linda Charnes, Katherine Maus, and Ian Moulton, and an essay by Harry Berger Jr. especially commissioned for this volume.A Selected Bibliography is also included. 18 illustrations
