Part of: The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (The Oxford Shakespeare) King Lear
- William Shakespeare (author)
- William James Craig (editor)
Shakespeare’s King Lear may be his greatest tragedy. It presents a dark picture of aging, of an uncaring universe, and the dangers of an unstable king struggling to understand his own power. This edition comes from the 1916 Oxford University Press edition of all of Shakespeare’s plays and poems.
