false http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1169814499m/42058.jpg 42058 141 Richard III is one of Shakespeare's most popular plays on the stage and has been adapted successfully for film. This new and innovative edition recognizes the play's pre-eminence as a performance work: a perspective that informs every aspect of the editing. Challenging traditional practice, the text is based on the 1597 Quarto which, it is argued, brings us closest to the play as it would have been staged in Shakespeare's theatre. The introduction, which is illustrated, explores the long performance history from Shakespeare's time to the present. Its critical engagement with the play responds to recent historicist and gender-based approaches. The commentary gives detailed explication of matters of language, staging, text, and historical and cultural contexts, providing coverage that is both carefully balanced and alert to nuance of meaning. Documentation of the extensive textual variants is organized for maximum clarity: the readings of the Folio and the Quarto are presented in separate banks, and more specialist information is given at the back of the book. Appendices also include selected passages from the main source and a special index of actors and other theatrical personnel. 2913597 book 1602 The Tragedy of King Richard III (Oxford World's Classics) total:4760|5:83|4:81|3:71|2:19|1:7| 4760 18552 5806 170 124507 0415026946 9780415026949 57 8 3.90 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1171872830m/124507.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/124507.King_Richard_III 5 36 false Thu Nov 27 15:29:38 -0800 2008 Thu Feb 19 09:19:35 -0800 2009 William Shakespeare has demanded an awful lot of me over the years.
