Synopsis

This tragedy follows an ageing king who is betrayed by his daughters, stripped of his kingdom and driven towards madness. Often described as among Shakespeare’s bleakest works, it confronts filial ingratitude, injustice, wretchedness and the meaninglessness of life with striking force. Reprinted from an authoritative British edition, this text is supported by explanatory footnotes for added clarity.

Suitable for readers interested in drama and theatre.
