King Lear, widely regarded as Shakespeare's greatest tragedy,
survives in two substantially different early texts, the Quarto of
1608 and the First Folio of 1623. Since the 18th century, however,
editors have fused these two documents to produce a third,
composite text that forms the basis of all modern productions and
critical interpretations. Recently scholars have begun to challenge
this editorial tradition, arguing that the Quarto and Folio texts
represent distinct and coherent versions of the play that should
not be combined. These essays, by an international team of
scholars, re-examine the early texts from a series of distinct but
interlocking perspectives, in a wide-ranging discussion with
profound implications for all readers of Shakespeare.
