The official title, anyway. (The real title is "Lea's Big Book of Gay Kings.")

That should so be the title it's published under . . .

(What is the pretentious official title?)

It's "'A Sort of Black Chapters': Historical Representation and the Interrogation of Power in Sixteenth-Century Poetic Depictions of Richard II."

The Gay Kings part (which predates the actual dissertation by several years) really only works plurally if you assume that Henry IV was a closet case. But that's okay, because he totally was. ;)

I bow down before your pretentious title. Yeah.

. . . I'd still totally read the book, though.
