Synopsis
King Lear is among Shakespeare's most powerful tragedies. Lear, the king of Britain, proposes to divide his kingdom among his three daughters, with each daughter getting a portion of the kingdom in proportion to her affection for her father. His daughters Goneril and Regan profess their love for their father and are rewarded accordingly, but their sister Cordelia, despite her love for her father, refuses to play the game of flattery, and, as a result, she is disinherited by Lear. Goneril and Regan eventually reveal their true colors when they turn their father out during a raging storm. Lear goes mad while others scheme for control of his kingdom. In this edition the editor, Andrew Hadfield, restores the play to its historical context, showing how the names and places in the ancient Britain of the play connect to Shakespeares England.

Synopsis
In this striking tragedy of political confilict, Shakespeare depicts the ancient Roman world. The play is one of tumultuous rivalry, prophetic warnings and of moving public oratory ("Friends, Romans, countrymen!"). Here, idealism and ironies abound. Part of the Barnes & Noble Shakespeare series, this features newly edited texts prepared by leading scholars from Great Britain and America, in collaboration with one of the world's foremost Shakespeare authorities, David Scott Kastan of Columbia University. Together they have produced texts as faithful as possible to those that Shakespeare wrote.
