Book Overview

by Bookcaps (Translator), William Shakespeare (Author)

Schemes, betrayal, murder, and one of the most ruthless villains in English history-Richard III has it all... if you can understand the language.

Shakespeare's Richard III follows the cunning, manipulative rise of Richard of Gloucester as he claws his way to the throne of England. With sharp dialogue and a chilling portrayal of power at any cost, this play is both a political thriller and a psychological study in ambition.

But if the Elizabethan English has left you confused or frustrated, you're not alone. This edition offers the full original text with a modern English translation, so you can follow the story line by line, without missing the meaning.

Perfect for students, teachers, or anyone eager to experience Shakespeare's powerful history play-without getting stuck on the words.

About William Shakespeare

William Shakespeare was born in April 1564 in the town of Stratford-upon-Avon, on England's Avon River. When he was eighteen, he married Anne Hathaway. The couple had three children--an older daughter Susanna and twins, Judith and Hamnet. Hamnet, Shakespeare's only son, died in childhood. The bulk of Shakespeare's working life was spent in the theater world of London, where he established himself professionally by the early 1590s. He enjoyed success not only as a playwright and poet, but also as an actor and shareholder in an acting company. Although some think that sometime between 1610 and 1613 Shakespeare retired from the theater and returned home to Stratford, where he died in 1616, others believe that he may have continued to work in London until close to his death.
