Richard Iii

About This Novel

"Richard III" is a work by the British playwright William Shakespeare. It describes the short reign of Richard III. The play is believed to have been written around 1591. The play is sometimes classified as a tragedy (in the early quartos), but a more accurate classification would be a historical drama, as in the First Folio. The work begins with "Henry VI Part 3" and ends the series of historical dramas that began with "Richard II". This work is Shakespeare's second longest play, after "Hamlet". Since the version of "Hamlet" included in the "First Folio" is shorter than the previous quarto, "Richard III" is the longest play among them. The length of the script is often considered a drawback, as it is rarely performed in its entirety and unimportant characters are often omitted.
