Abstract

ABSTRACT This article seeks to examine recent popular fiction on Richard of Gloucester (1452?1485), later Richard III. Of particular focus is the portrayal of Richard's pet hounds ? specifically the Irish wolfhound depicted in Sharon Penman's novel, The Sunne in Splendour (1982). The article investigates the dialectic between the mythology of Richard as overplayed villain and as domestic family man, with the wolfhound as the centre-piece of this domesticity ? an iconography which is at odds with the traditional stereotypes of Richard
