We have just returned from Stratford Shakespeare's new home this side of the Atlantic. We saw Richard III, and the scope and vi- olence of it left us breathless. Here is Richard as Shakespeare saw him, as history sees him, as Mr. Guin- ness portrays him, a malevolent cripple, a hypocrite, a monster of evil and intrigue. In facial ap- pearance Mr. Guiness’ Richard was not grotesque, and neither are the portraits of this Plantagenet which are to be found in London’s Tate and National Galleries. And it is this business of faces and history that leads me to speak of a book in our Library that is immensely and curiously interesting. It is Josâ€" ephine Tey’s “Daughter of Time" and it too deals with Richard 111 but not in the familiar or accepted way. Miss Tey’s hero is a Scot- land Yard Detective, with a mark- ed talent for physiogonomy, a med- ical student’s knowledge of bone structure and facial characteristics, and a terrifyingly acute memory. He is a fracture case in a hospital room. Immobile and desperate for diversion he enlists the aid of a friend. The friend, knowing his interest in faces, brings him a ser- ies of reprints of famous people, among them Richard III. He can- not reconcile the face with the monstrous crimes linked to this man’s name. He decides some re- search is in order. Carefully he chips away at the historical struc- ture, until, at the end of the book, the baleful tyrant, the “bloody dog“, the murderer of the Princes in the Tower, emerges a different man. And strangely enough, he proves to the satisfaction of the reader that “Truth is the daughter of time”, indeed. For students and lovers of Shakespeare, there is a slim little volume which also deals with spec- ulation. It is “Sergeant Shakes- peare" by Duff Cooper. This fresh and lively exploration into the car- eer of William Shakespeare, sol- dier, was inspired when Duff Coo- per was himself a soldier in the First World War, and one of his fellows, a Sergeant Shakespeare, was killed by a bomb. Duff Coop- er reflected that William Shakes- peare must have been a young man at the time of the Armada. He reread the plays and was impress« ed by the prominence of the mil- itary theme in them. In the 37 plays soldiers occupy a high place, and throughout there is a curious preoccupation with the military. So â€" was Shakespeare himself not asoldier and a sergeant at that? Miss Tey is one of my favourite authors. She began to write as a young girl and wrote steadily until her'death a year ago. After a first novel. she turned to the play, and in 1932 wrote “Richard of Bor- deaux” which made theatrical his- tory. In 1939 she took to crime, and in this she found a medium as disciplined as any sonnet. Among her books on our Library shelves are “The Franchise Afiair", “To Love and be Wise”, and the “Sing- ing Sands." About Books And 112 Markham Rd.
