- Description
- Examines the history and literature of Richard II "through a queer theoretical lens," including discussion of TC, Maidstone's "Concordia," Shakespeare's "Richard II "(and its performance history), and modern fiction. Explores the "cultural norm of royal fecundity" in English insular romances to reveal how "the conspicuous absence of children" in TC resists the "logics of reproductive futurity."
