Annotation:
	Reads Queen Isabel in Richard II not as a composite of Richard's wives, but historically as a little girl. Contents that reading Isabelle de France as a child "instensif[ies] our sympathy for her plight" and "recognize[s] her status as a compelling French counterpoint to the play's overarching English nationalist teleology."
