Inhaltsangabe


Part of the Chiltern Classics range

Aging monarch King Lear decides to divide his domain between his three daughters, demanding professions of love from each before sharing out the spoils. Goneril and Regan flatter him out of self-interest, while virtuous, dutiful Cordelia refuses to engage in such shallow displays of affection, incurring her father's displeasure. Lear's folly exacts a heavy price in a play widely regarded as Shakespeare's greatest achievement.

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

William Shakespeare (26 April 1564 - 23 April 1616) was an English playwright, poet and actor, widely regarded as the greatest writer in the English language and the world's greatest dramatist. He is often called England's national poet and the "Bard of Avon." His early plays were primarily comedies and histories and are regarded as some of the best works produced in these genres. He then wrote mainly tragedies until 1608, among them Hamlet, Romeo and Juliet, Othello, King Lear, and Macbeth, all considered to be among the finest works in the English language.
