The History of King Lear: The Oxford Shakespeare the History of King Lear by William Shakespeare
5.0
This is why Shakespeare is the King of the Canon. Beautiful soliloquys, complex characters, masterful language, perfect pace, and - most importantly - a story that will affect anyone deep in their heart if they let it.
Read this along with the Critical Essays for King Lear, edited by Rian Kiernan - helped enormously to understand this rich, intricate play. Also saw the 2018 King Lear film adaptation with the always fantastic Anthony Hopkins in the title role.
Loved this play and will be reading it again soon.
