Cover of the 1594 quarto of The True Tragedy of Richard III, which was "[p]rinted by Thomas Creede and ... to be sold by William Barley, at his shop in Newgate Market".
The True Tragedy of Richard III is an anonymous Elizabethan history play on the subject of Richard III of England. It has attracted the attention of scholars of English Renaissance drama principally for the question of its relationship with William Shakespeare's Richard III.[1]
The title spelling that appears on the cover page of the quarto is The True Tragedie of Richard the third.[2]
The True Tragedy of Richard III should not be confused with The True Tragedy of Richard, Duke of York; the latter is the early alternative version of Shakespeare's Henry VI, Part 3.
