The author provides a scene-by-scene commentary on the action,
which tracks the development of character and explores
Shakespeare's handling of the moral and spiritual issues to which
the play gives rise. He also examines attitudes to the play down
the ages, from scholars, critics and the play-going public, and
demonstrates that a sceptical era like our own finds, perhaps to
its surprise, that it has much in common with the age of Dr.
Johnson. Davies surveys more recent stage and film productions to
show how contemporary directors have used King Lear to work out
their social, political and historical preoccupations.
