How does Richard III of England translate in our culure?
Apart from Shakespeare, Richard appears in many other works of literature.
Is Richard only in literature?
The anonymous play The True Tragedy of Richard III (c.
1590), performed in the same decade as Shakespeare's work.
What did this play have to say about Richard's life?
the True Tragedy briefly mentions that he is "A man ill shaped, crooked backed, lame armed" adding that he is "valiantly minded, but tyrannous in authority".
Is this different than he is normally portrayed?
CANNOTANSWER.
