William Shakespeare's "King Lear" has long received considerable attention for textual, philological and theatrical reasons. This monograph combines the most recent academic researches and the close reading of the 1608 Quarto text to find answers to the question what makes this play an autstanding and exceptional work of art. Written to be performed to a courtly audience, the text bears traces of the dramaturgical herritage of Tudor interludes as well as the tropes of early Jacobean public discourses on royal power.
