Shakespeare Editorial Review
This review is for "The History of King Lear: The Oxford Shakespeare The History of King Lear Illustrated Edition". The reviewer has read several versions of King Lear before, but thanks to James Shapiro's "In the Year of Lear: Shakespeare in 1606", they realized that what they studied was a mix of two distinct plays. They decided to go back and read the first edition, which they found to be a masterpiece. However, the Kindle edition has blocks of text alternating with blocks of notes, which makes it very confusing to read. The reviewer suggests purchasing the paperback instead. Other reviewers have also commented on the poor formatting of the Kindle edition. Overall, the book is Considered an invaluable source of background material and definitions for those studying or working on productions of King Lear.
