Synopsis "Ricardo II (in Spanish)"

Ricardo II pertenece a la serie de dramas históricos ingleses escritos por Shakespeare. Narra los acontecimientos que tuvieron lugar a raíz de la usurpación del trono por Ricardo en 1399 y el consiguiente advenimiento de la dinastía de los Lancaster. El drama gira en torno a la pérdida, conservación y conquista del poder, pero, a diferencia de las anteriores obras históricas, Shakespeare va más allá de los avatares del juego político e indaga en la condición humana del rey, en el comportamiento de los hombres y en las razones de sus actos. Su estilizado lenguaje, reflejo de la ceremonia y la pompa de la corte medieval, al dejar un resquicio para expresar el lamento, coexiste con el tono elegíaco y personal tan característico de este drama. Ángel-Luis Pujante, catedrático de la Universidad de Murcia y reconocido especialista en la obra de Shakespeare, es autor de esta excelente traducción, que ofrece arropada por un riguroso análisis de la base histórica del drama y de sus singulares características literarias.

William Shakespeare (Stratford-upon-Avon, c. April 23, 1564jul. - Ibid., April 23/May 3, 1616) was an English playwright, poet, and actor. Often known as the Bard of Avon (or simply the Bard), he is considered the most important writer in the English language and one of the most famous in world literature.

According to the Encyclopædia Britannica, "Shakespeare is generally acknowledged as the greatest of all time writers, a unique figure in the history of literature. The fame of other poets, such as Homer and Dante Alighieri, or novelists such as Leo Tolstoy or Charles Dickens, has transcended national barriers, but none has achieved the reputation of Shakespeare, whose works today are read and performed more frequently and in more countries than ever. The prophecy of one of his great contemporaries, Ben Jonson, has thus been fulfilled: 'Shakespeare does not belong to one age but to eternity'".

Among his most notable works are Hamlet, Romeo and Juliet, Macbeth, and A Midsummer Night's Dream. His ability to portray the complexities of human nature, along with his mastery in the use of verse and language, has made him a timeless figure.
