Description
This English-language Shakespeare tragedy begins when an ageing king seeking a successor rejects the young daughter who loves him and places his trust in her malevolent sisters. They strip him of his power and condemn him to a desolate wasteland of horror and insanity. Set in a pitiless universe, King Lear is a towering masterpiece of fierce poetry and vast imaginative scope. This edition is used and recommended by the National Theatre, with a general introduction by Stanley Wells, an edition by George Hunter and an introduction by Kiernan Ryan.
