Book excerpt: The authoritative edition of Richard II from The Folger Shakespeare Library, the trusted and widely used Shakespeare series for students and general readers. Shakespeare's Richard II presents a momentous struggle between Richard II and his cousin Henry Bolingbroke. Richard is the legitimate king; he succeeded his grandfather, King Edward III, after the earlier death of his father Edward, the Black Prince. Yet Richard is also seen by many as a tyrant. He toys with his subjects, exiling Bolingbroke for six years. When he seizes the title and property that should be Bolingbroke's, Richard threatens the very structure of the kingdom. Bolingbroke returns with an army that is supported by nobles and commoners alike, both believing themselves oppressed by Richard. This sets the stage for a confrontation between his army and the tradition of sacred kingship supporting the isolated but now more sympathetic Richard.

The play chronicles the events surrounding the reign of King Richard II of England, focusing particularly on his downfall and deposition. At the beginning of the play, Richard II is depicted as a young and arrogant king who believes in the divine right of kings and the absolute power of the monarchy. However, his rule is soon challenged by rebellious nobles, including Henry Bolingbroke (later King Henry IV), who accuses Richard of mismanagement and tyranny. As the power struggle intensifies, Richard's authority begins to unravel, leading to his eventual deposition and imprisonment. The play explores themes of political legitimacy, divine providence, and the nature of kingship, raising questions about the relationship between rulers and their subjects.
