For this updated critical edition of King Lear, Lois Potter has
written a completely new introduction, taking account of recent
productions and reinterpretations of the play, with particular
emphasis on its afterlife in global performance and adaptation. The
edition retains the Textual Analysis of the previous editor, Jay L.
Halio, shortened and with a new preface by Brian Gibbons. Professor
Halio, accepting that we have two versions of equal authority, the
one derived from Shakespeare's rough drafts, the other from a
manuscript used in the playhouses during the seventeenth century,
chooses the Folio as the text for this edition. He explains the
differences between the two versions and alerts the reader to the
rival claims of the quarto by means of a sampling of parallel
passages in the Introduction and by an appendix which contains
annotated passages unique to the quarto.
