Descriere
A king foolishly divides his kingdom between his scheming two oldest daughters and estranges himself from the daughter who loves him. So begins this profoundly moving and disturbing tragedy that, perhaps more than any other work in literature, challenges the notion of a coherent and just universe. The king and others pay dearly for their shortcomings--as madness, murder, and the anguish of insight and forgiveness that arrive too late combine to make this an all-embracing tragedy of evil and suffering.
Textul de pe ultima copertă
The text of the play included here, prepared by Craig Walker for The Broadview Anthology of British Literature, has been acclaimed for its outstanding introductory material and annotations, and for its inclusion of parellel text versions of key scenes for which the texts of the Quarto and the Folio versions of the play are substantially different.
Also included in this edition are excerpts from a variety of literary source materials (including Geoffrey on Monmouth's Historia Regum Britanniae, the anonymous True Chronicle Historie of King Leir, and Samuel Harsnett's A Declaration of Egregious Popish Impostures); material on the historical Annesley case that raised many of the same issues as does Shakespeare's play; and the happy ending from Nahum Tate's version of the play, which held the stage for 150 years after its first performance in 1681.

'Of all the Shakespeare roles, King Lear is the actor's Everest... To play this you need to have lived long enough to know or see suffering, madness, and human folly.'
'King Lear is perhaps the greatest of all Shakespeare's dramas, but it is so harrowing, so despairing, so graphic in its cruelty, that it is also a test of endurance.'
'If Shakespeare's plays were mountains, King Lear would be the entire Himalayas.'
'The play - arguably the Bard's greatest'
''Lear' is an undeniably majestic work;
