- Description
- Argues that as a mirror for princes Mel offers an "implicit critical view of Richard II," especially when read in the context of CT, which elsewhere provides a "complex analysis of advisers, advice, and the handling of counsel." Comments on the advice given in NPT as well as in Mel, and the contrast between literary parody in Th and "serious pragmatic literature" in Mel.
