Synopsis

King Lear is one of Shakespeare's most performed and studied plays - seen as one of the most significant and universal tragedies of all time.

It includes a keynote chapter outlining major areas of current research on the play and four new critical essays. Finally, a guide to critical, web-based and production-related resources and an annotated bibliography provide a basis for further individual research.
