Excerpt from The Stoddard Library, Vol. 11: A Thousand Hours of Entertainment With the World's Great Writers
Kent. Hail to thee, noble master! Lear. Ha! Makest thou this shame thy pastime? Kent. No, my lord.
Fool. Ha, ha! He wears cruel garters. Horses are tied by the heads, dogs and bears by the neck, monkeys by the loins, and men by the legs: when a man's overlusty at legs, then he wears wooden nether - stocks.
Lear. What's he that hath so much thy place mistook To set thee here?

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book captivates with its exploration of the human psyche, particularly the theme of madness in its myriad forms. Set within the historical milieu of sixteenth-century England, it delves into the mental anguish of King Lear, a figure ensnared by both his own flawed nature and the treachery of those closest to him. The author's profound insights into the depths of despair, coupled with the examination of filial bonds and the consequences of power, lend this work a timeless resonance. Through the lens of Lear's decline into madness, the book unveils the fragile nature of the human mind and the devastating impact of betrayal. An incisive exploration of the human condition, this book offers a compelling meditation on the boundaries of sanity and the enduring power of anguish.
