King Lear (Signet Classics)

The Signet Classics edition of one of William Shakespeareâ€™s greatest tragedies.

Full of cruelty and betrayal, King Lear is the timeless and timely story of a kingdom held in the thrall of an aging rulerâ€™s descent into madness. Desperate for praise, he banishes those who would guide him with honesty and surrounds himself with sycophantsâ€”an action which leads to his ultimately tragic downfall...

â€¢ An overview of Shakespeare's life, world, and theater
â€¢Â A special introduction to the play by the editor, Russell Fraser

â€¢ Dramatic criticism from Samuel Johnson, A. C. Bradley, John Russell Brown, and others
â€¢ A comprehensive stage and screen history of notable actors, directors, and productions
