Lear's Other Shadow

A Cultural History of Queen Lear

Beschreibung

Lear’s Other Shadow proposes a cultural history of King Leir/Lear’s queen, beginning with pre-Shakespearean versions of the archetypal tale, through Shakespeare’s dramatic retelling, and in dozens of lively post-Shakespearean adaptations on stage, page, and screen that in one way or another restore the wife and queen that Shakespeare all but excised from his version of the ancient story.
