Summary edit
| Description |
Title page of George Buck's biography, The History of King Richard III. This is from the 1647 2nd Issue. The History came into the hands of Buck's great-nephew, also named George Buck, who produced manuscript copies that he dedicated to various patrons from whom he sought advancement, passing them off as his own. Gradually he altered the History, cutting it and making it look like something written in his own time, rather than earlier, by deleting names of Buck’s learned contemporaries who had shared sources and viva voce information with him, and altering or deleting documentation of sources, with the details of which, also, his copyist was careless. Finally in 1646 he published a version of the History which was slightly over half the length of the original. This second issue (usually referred to erroneously as a second edition) appeared the next year. See George Buck for more information. |
