You wrote that you were interested in underlying assumptions;
I think you should find that the 2x2  case offers the initial, deep 
discussions of relevant issues that won't be explicated in 
as much detail when you read about the R x K.

Maurice Kendall wrote the classic book (1948) on Rank correlation 
methods.  I assume that the 1990 edition (with a co-author) 
is comprehensive, but I have not seen it.
