This edition is numbered on the spine and was part of the series that started in the 1960s. The edition also featured a cover illustration by Milton Glaser. A later edition, published in 1999, also exists with an ISBN of 9780451527196, according to Wellesley College's eFollett store. The Life and Death of King Richard the Second (1595), also Richard II, is a Shakespearean history play about the lifetime and reign of King Richard II of England (r. 1377–1399). As a dramatised period history of the British monarchy, Richard II chronicles the Machiavellian machinations of the noblemen of the royal court who conspire, precipitate, and realise the downfall and death of the King of England. As the first work in the Henriad tetralogy of English history plays, the political narrative of Richard II is thematically followed throughout the stories of Henry IV, Part 1, Henry IV, Part 2, and Henry V, which also are histories of the reigns of his royal successors to the Throne of England. Although the First Folio (1623) classifies The Life and Death of Richard the Second as an English history play, the earlier Quarto edition (1597) classifies Richard II as a tragedy, under the title The Tragedie of King Richard the Second.
