The central characters experience intense suffering in a hostile and unpredictable world. They face domestic cruelty, political defeat, and a stormy external environment that invades them "to the skin." They constantly question the meaning of their experiences as we watch their emotions range from despair to rage to unexpected tenderness and desperate hope as they are rejected, even tortured. Lear's daughters, as in a fairy tale, are three strong women. The elder two vie for sexual and political power, while the youngest, Cordelia, is initially banished because of her plain speaking, then returns in a doomed attempt to restore her father to his throne. King Lear has an unusual performance history. It was significantly revised, by Shakespeare or others, between its first two publications, and was then succeeded by an adaptation that softened the ending so that Lear and Cordelia survived. In our own times King Lear is performed around the world in productions that explore its relevance to contemporary political and environmental challenges. This edition offers a distinctive 'extended' text, taking the later Folio as a starting point and adding the lines that appear only in the Quarto, distinguished by a light gray background. Variations in individual words that are of critical interest are recorded in the margin."-- $c Provided by publisher. 530 $a Issued also in electronic format. 600 00 $a Lear, $c King of England (Legendary character) $v Drama. 650 0 $a Dramatists, English $y Early modern, 1500-1700 $x Criticism and interpretation. 700 1 $a Best, Michael R., $e editor. 700 1 $a Joubin, Alexa Alice, $d 1973- $e editor. $1 https://id.oclc.org/worldcat/entity/E39PCjyWMjjg33X78dVgm7hYCP 776 08 $i Online version: $a Shakespeare, William, 1564-1616. $t King Lear. $d Peterborough : Broadview Press, 2023 $z 9781460407899 $z 9781460407899 $w (OCoLC)1356910349 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20240717024859.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=989DCFD4F17F11EE82DF7F7D41ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
