More about the book

The narrative explores the complexities of power and judgment through the character of King Richard II, who finds himself unable to fairly adjudicate a dispute between Henry Bolingbroke and Thomas Mowbray due to his own culpability in a murder. His hasty decisions, including the banishment of both men, set off a chain of events that highlight his tragic flaws. This play is part of the "Henriad," a tetralogy that delves into the historical struggles for the English throne, showcasing Shakespeare's mastery in weaving intricate political drama.
