๐ The Scoop
Richard II is a figure famous in England's national myths โ the king who went insane, the narcissist, the tyrant of Shakespeare's play. History regards his rule either as that of a superhuman monarch or a crazed and vicious ruler. But Richard II was a complex and conflicted man โ a person with faults and shortcomings thrust into a role that demanded greatness. In this book, Kathryn Warner returns with the first modern biography of Richard II in decades, to paint a portrait of the king with all of his strengths and imperfections left in the picture. An aesthete and patron of the arts as well as a person troubled by a much-maligned โpersonality disorderโ, Richard II here emerges from behind the mask of a theatrical character.
Genre: History / Europe / Medieval (fancy, right?)
