Description

King Lear: Language and Writing explores the elemental power of Shakespeare's play through its language, which is both simple and relentless. This guide delves into the play's status as a tragedy, stagecraft, primary source material, and theatre history.

The book provides practical guidance on developing critical writing skills to engage fully with Shakespeare's texts. The 'Writing Matters' section at the end of each chapter offers suggestions for activities that can further enhance your understanding of the play.
