About the book

William Shakespeare's King John dramatises the troubled reign of the medieval English king as he confronts rival claims to the throne, conflict with France and a struggle with the papacy. At the centre of the political crisis is the young Arthur, whose claim threatens John's legitimacy. The play explores kingship, inheritance, national identity, political expediency and the human costs of dynastic power.
