Richard II: A Brittle Glory

Trama

He suffered from the disastrous combination of a most exalted sense of his own power and an inability to impress that power on those closest to the throne. Laura Ashe's brilliant account of his reign emphasizes the strange gap between Richard's personal incapacity and the amazing cultural legacy of his reign - from the Wilton Diptych to Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, Piers Plowman and The Canterbury Tales .
