What have poems and maps, law books and plays, ecclesiastical polemics and narratives of overseas exploration to do with one another? By most accounts, very little. They belong to different genres and have been appropriated by scholars in different disciplines. But, as Richard Helgerson shows in this ambitious and wide-ranging study, all were part of an extraordinary sixteenth- and seventeenth-century enterprise: the project of making England.

Richard of England is the story of Prince Richard, Duke of York who returned to England to claim his rightful inheritance, the throne of England. This was in 1497, some 14 years after, according to legend, he was supposed to have been murdered as one of the "Princes in the Tower" by his wicked uncle King Richard III. But this was just a myth created by the Tudor dynasty. The recent discovery of King Richard III's body in a Leicester car park raises again the complex issues of this fascinating part of English history. Diana Kleyn traces the story of young Richard, Duke of York from childhood, through the courts of Europe to his attempts at invasion of England. The story contains drama, love and intrigue and ends in tragedy as befits a real true life story. But more than a story Diana Kleyn's book contains important references and translations which historians will find extremely important. These unravel the true story of events of that period which, until now, have not been revealed. Quite simply she is rewriting a fascinating part of English history.
