Abstract
The aim of the writer in working out this thesis is to discover in what respects Shakespeare has been untrue to historical facts and characters. In a work of this kind, it will be possible to point out only the chief discrepancies on the part of the dramatist, by a specific comparison of the play and its characters with the period of history with which the play deals and the life of the main characters concerned. A great portion of the work will be devoted to the careful analysis of the character of Richard III, the vortex about which the whole play is centered; the dynamic force that controls every incident and dominates every character.
