By William Shakespeare
The authoritative edition of King John from The Folger Shakespeare Library the trusted and widely used Shakespeare series for students and general readers. Like most of Shakespeare's history plays King John presents a struggle for the English crown. The struggle this time however is strikingly cold-blooded and brutal. John the younger brother of the late Richard I is the king and a savage one. His opponent is a boy his nephew Arthur supported by the King of France and the Duke of Austria. After Arthur falls into John's hands John plots to torture him. Arthur's capture gives Louis the Dauphin of France the opportunity to lay claim to John's crown. John's nobles support Louis but he schemes to betray them. The play finds its hero in another figure: the Bastard Sir Richard Plantagenet an illegitimate son of Richard I. Although he has an appetite for war he also has a strong conscience and speaks with trenchant irony.
