King Lear by Andrew Hiscock

King Lear is one of Shakespeare's most performed and studied plays - seen as one of the most significant and universal tragedies of all time. This guide introduces the play's critical and performance history, including notable stage productions alongside TV, film and radio versions. It includes a keynote chapter outlining major areas of current research on the play and four new critical essays. Finally, a guide to critical, web-based and production-related resources and an annotated bibliography provide a basis for further individual research.

This volume provides "all ye know on earth, and all ye need to know" about the challenging experience of King LearThe coverage is compendious, the research up-to-date, and the essays rich with fresh insights. -- R. S. White, Professor of English, University of Western Australia, Australia
This comprehensive approach makes King Lear: A Critical Guide a valuable resource for advanced undergraduates and those who teach them, as it suggests the multitude of reaction to King Lear over time, while also showing what can still be done within this vast tradition. -- William Rhodes, University of Virginia * Sixteenth Century Journal *
