King Lear (Shakespeare, Signet Classic)

King Lear (Shakespeare, Signet Classic) Paperback - 1963

by Shakespeare, William


From the publisher

King Lear dramatizes the troubled succession of an aging British monarch. Featuring cogent disquisitions on ambition, vanity, and loyalty, this is, one of the most analyzed and influential of Shakespeare's tragedies.
Under the editorial supervision of Jonathan Bate and Eric Rasmussen, two of today's most accomplished Shakespearean scholars, this Modern Library series incorporates definitive texts and authoritative notes from William Shakespeare: Complete Works. Each play includes an Introduction as well as an overview of Shakespeare's theatrical career; commentary on past and current productions based on interviews with leading directors, actors, and designers; scene-by-scene analysis; key facts about the work; a chronology of Shakespeare's life and times; and black-and-white illustrations. Ideal for students, theater professionals, and general readers, these modern and accessible editions set a new standard in Shakespearean literature for the twenty-first century.
Praise for William Shakespeare: Complete Works A remarkable edition, one that makes Shakespeare's extraordinary accomplishment more vivid than ever.
-James Shapiro, professor, Columbia University, bestselling author of A Year in the Life of Shakespeare: 1599 Two eminent Shakespeareans . . . have applied modern editing techniques and recent scholarship to correct and update the First Folio. . . . Superb.
-The New York Times A feast of literary and historical information.
-The Wall Street Journal I look forward to using it over many years, enjoying Bate's perceptive comments, trusting Rasmussen's textual scholarship.
-Peter Holland, president of the ShakespeareAssociation of America and editor of Shakespeare Survey
