Richard II (The English Monarchs Series)
Saul (medieval history, Univ. of London) has written several books on the medieval period (e.g., England in Europe, St. Martin's, 1994). His latest work stays close to primary sources, which means it is a biography of the reign of Richard II but not necessarily a biography of the man. Saul does provide a chapter at the end on Richard as an individual, with supporting evidence for his theories. The author assumes some knowledge of the era but writes clearly except when, at times, he refers to an individual by a variety of names. Still, all audiences will be able to enjoy this work.?Julie Still, Rutgers Univ., Camden, N.J.Copyright 1997 Reed Business Information, Inc.--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
