Shakespeare - Richard II by Martin Coyle
In this Readers' Guide, Martin Coyle provides students with guidance to the ways in which this play has been received by audiences, critics and academics since its first production. Beginning with a discussion of early commentaries, the Guide steers a clear path through the huge body of critical material that has been amassed over the past three centuries. The most significant critical arguments are presented and assessed, and the reader is brought to a clear understanding of the ways in which each generation has sought to invest the play with new meanings. In the final section of the Guide, consideration is given to the radical new readings of Shakespeare's work provided by contemporary critics.
'I continue to find the Readers' Guides indispensable for teaching - they really give students a sense of criticism having a history' - Professor Rachel Bowlby, University of York 'The series looks really excellent - attractively produced, user friendly; and outstanding value for money' - Ronald Knowles, Reader, University of Reading
MARTIN COYLE is Senior Lecturer in English at the University of Wales, Cardiff.
