Richard III: Classic Histories Series

Richard III: Classic Histories Series by Michael Hicks

Richard III has been written off in history as one of England’s evil kings. His usurpation of the throne from his nephew Edward V and then subsequent generations of pro-Tudor historians ensured his fame as the disfigured murderer portrayed by Shakespeare. In the twentieth century, Richard found his apologists, those who saw him as more sinned against than sinning. This biography – by the leading expert on Richard – strips away the propaganda of the centuries to rescue Richard from his critics and supporters alike, providing a balanced and compelling portrait of this most infamous of kings.

Michael Hicks recently retired after thirty-five years as a professor of music at Brigham Young University. He is the author of five books in University of Illinois Press's Music in American Life series, including Mormonism and Music: A History, and The Mormon Tabernacle Choir: A Biography. His historical and analytical articles have appeared in books such as the Encyclopedia of Popular Music of the World and the Oxford Handbook of Mormonism as well as journals that include Journal of the American Musicological Society and Journal of Aesthetic Education. He has twice won the ASCAP-Deems Taylor Award (1994 and 2003) for his writing about music and a third time as editor of the journal American Music, a post he held in 2007-10. He and his wife, Pam, are the parents of four children and grandparents of fourteen.
