Product Description
This Norton Critical Edition is based on the Folio text of King Lear (carefully corrected prior to its printing in 1623). The editor has interpolated the best-known and most-often discussed passages from Quarto I (including the “mock-trial” scene) as is fully explained in both “A Note on the Text” and the annotations that accompany the play.
“Sources” helps readers navigate
King Lear’s rich history and includes the nine essential primary sources from which Shakespeare borrowed significantly in creating his play, along with two additional likely sources.
“Criticism”provides thirteen major critical interpretations and three provocative adaptations and responses to
King Lear. Critical interpretation is provided by Samuel Johnson, Charles Lamb, Peter Brook, Michael Warren, Lynda E. Boose, Janet Adelman, and R. A. Foakes, among others. The adaptations and responses are by Nahum Tate, John Keats, and Edward Bond.
A Selected Bibliography is also included.

16 of 17 people found the following review helpful  AS EVER THE ONE-STOP SOURCE FOR PRIMARY RESEARCH, BUT I LIKE THE OXFORD, February 4, 2009 This review is from: King Lear (Norton Critical Editions) (Paperback) Right off the bat, please let me share my preference for the The Oxford Shakespeare: The History of King Lear.

I'd wanted to read this as it's a monumental classic, but just never got to it. I give it five stars because who am I to say Shakespeare deserves less. (But I'd much rather read "In Search of Lost Time," "The Tempest" or something like "Paradise Lost." Now I have. I dragged myself through it. I had no sympathy for Lear. He just drove me to distraction. He was so blind to the relationships and the predictable effects of his own decisions. God help those who had him for a king. Yet, the essays in the back of the book, helped me appreciate the play as did our first discussion. Help other customers find the most helpful reviews Was this review helpful to you? |
