Fiction and Non-Fiction on Richard II

Brian Wainwright, author of Within The Fetterlock, a historical novel about Constance of York who was Edward III’s granddaughter and Richard II’s cousin, offers a bibliography of fiction and non-fiction on Richard II. I especially appreciate that Wainwright highlights the novels that are biographical fiction. He lists separately those that provide background information on Richard or the times.

Next to the entry for Anya Seton’s Katherine, Wainwright remarks that he includes it just in case “there’s anyone out there who hasn’t read it.” That would be me. In fact, I haven’t read any of these books, so I’m going to have to get busy.
