  • "This timeless tragedy follows the bloody path of the "rudely stamped" Richard, Duke of Gloucester, who uses his murderous guile to achieve the throne of England.

  • "The Machiavellian tale of England's Richard III, an enterprising, self-made villain whose ascension to the throne was marked with murder and treachery."@en
  • "Shakespeare's Richard III is a rare protagonist, at once a villain and a hero. Though he is crookbacked, and as deformed in temperament as he is in body, his brillance as an evildoer is captivating."
  • ""Based on Shakespeare's bloodthirsty tale of power and politics, set in 1930's England in the aftermath of a viscious Civil War, this is the story of Richard, Duke of Gloucester. Deformed since birth but possessed of a sinister cunning, the villainous pretender to the throne manipulates and murders his way to power." [box cover note]."@en
  • "Richard emerges from the chaos which surrounds the reign of Henry VI determined to become king by removing his elder brother Edward IV, by convincing him that their brother Clarence is plotting against the crown. The deaths of both Clarence and Edward take Richard inexorably towards the crown, and the seires of murders and conspiracies that Richard masterminds confirms his claim that "I am determined to prove a villain". This is a fully dramatised version."
  • "An exciting new edition of the complete works of Shakespeare with these features: Illustrated with photographs from New York Shakespeare Festival productions, vivid readable readable introductions for each play by noted scholar David Bevington, a lively personal foreword by Joseph Papp, an insightful essay on the play in performance, modern spelling and pronunciation, up-to-date annotated bibliographies, and convenient listing of key passages."
  • "Vertaling in Vlaams idioom."
  • "Presents the original text of Shakespeare's play side by side with a modern version, with marginal notes and explanations and full descriptions of each character."
  • "Richard III was written around 1592, over 100 years since the title character rose to power in England for a short two-year reign. Scholars most actively study the play's portrayal of Richard III as a Machiavellian character and its interesting title (The Tragedie of King Richard III) featured in an early quarto of the play."@en
  • ""A historical tragedy. The villainous Richard, the duke of Gloucester, schemes to inherit the crown, ruthlessly eliminating anyone who hinders his progress" --Provided by publisher."@en
  • "Shakespeare readers will further be able to understand and appreciate the text of this play with the help of explanatory footnotes on the language and expressions used and a history of Shakepearean theater and writing."@en
  • "The final play in Shakespeare's masterly dramatization of the strife between the Houses of York and Lancaster, Richard III offers a stunning portrait of an archvillain⁰́₄a man of cunning and ruthless ambition who seduces, betrays and murders his way to the throne. In the process, Richard delivers great speeches and engages in formidable confrontations with a large cast of characters, almost all of them caught up in the terrible struggle for power that dominates the play. It is a tribute to Shakespeare's dramatic genius and knowledge of human psychology that by the end of the drama the detestable Richard begins to elicit some sympathy for the awful plight in which he finds himself. Explanatory footnotes and an introductory note are included."@en
  • "In 1930s Britain, a savage civil war between two royal families has just concluded. But even as the newly installed King Edward takes the reins of power, his ruthless younger brother Richard sets in motion a monstrous scheme to claim the crown for himself. Enlisting the aid of equally duplicitous allies in the court, Richard embarks on a merciless, single-minded campaign of betrayal, seduction and cold-blooded murder to achieve the goal that has obsessed him all of his tortured life : to be king... at any price."
