King Lear by William Shakespeare
This Norton Critical Edition is based on the Folio text of King Lear (carefully corrected prior to its printing in 1623). The editor has interpolated the best-known and most-often discussed passages from Quarto I (including the mock-trial scene) as is fully explained in both A Note on the Text and the annotations that accompany the play.
