The History of King Richard the Third
The History of King Richard the Third is Thomas More's English
masterpiece. With the help of Shakespeare, whose Richard the Third took More's work
as its principal model, the History determined the historical reputation of an
English king and spawned a seemingly endless controversy about the justness of that
reputation. George M. Logan has produced a scholarly yet
accessible edition of the History, designed to make More's exhilarating work fully
accessible to 21st-century readers. More's text is presented here with modern
English spelling and punctuation, and with full annotation of linguistic
difficulties and the historical background. The text is preceded by a general
introduction, a chronology, and suggestions for further reading. An appendix
reprints passages from key sources and analogues, enabling the reader to see how
More worked with his English sources and classical models, and finally how
Shakespeare worked with More.
