«Riccardo II» is the historical drama by William Shakespeare, published by Newton Compton Editori in paperback (208 pages, in Italian).
The drama delves into the figure of Richard II, a king who cannot govern or read the world as a politician, but who interprets it as a poet, master of a language with which he expresses his unease. Against the backdrop of military action, the work prefers the intimate portrait of a man in crisis caught between the Middle Ages and the Modern Age.
Edited and translated by Agostino Lombardo, with the English version on the facing page. It is part of the Grandi tascabili economici collection and the Wars of the Roses series, where it appears as the first volume.
For literature students and readers of classical theater who want to delve into Shakespeare's historical dramas.
William Shakespeare was an English playwright, poet and actor. He is widely regarded as the greatest writer in the English language and the world's pre-eminent dramatist. He is often called England's national poet and the "Bard of Avon" or simply "the Bard". His extant works, including collaborations, consist of some 39 plays, 154 sonnets, 3 long narrative poems and a few other verses, some of uncertain authorship. His plays have been translated into every major living language and are performed more often than those of any other playwright. Shakespeare remains arguably the most influential writer in the English language, and his works continue to be studied and reinterpreted.
