摘要：When Shakespeare has Richard II call for the telling of "sad stories" he is not merely alluding to a tradition of medieval de casibus tragedy, but rather engaging with a well-known vision of historical teleology, popularized in Shakespeare's time by narrative historical tragedies. Shakespeare's audience, largely ignorant of the basic facts of English history, were familiar with this tragic form of history. Richard is a "self-authored subject" who finally brings his represented self into continuity with the de casibus vision.
