Book Overview

by William Shakespeare (Author)

Penned by Shakespeare from 1604, King Lear or the Tragedy of King Lear, is a five-act drama set in the court of an aging British monarch, whose plan to step down from his throne and divide his kingdom among his daughters ends tragically.

Widowed King Lear beckons his nobles together to announce his plans to pass on the kingdom to his three daughters. Goneril, his oldest, is married to the Duke of Albany, his middle daughter, Regan, is married to the Duke of Cornwall.

About William Shakespeare

William Shakespeare was born in April 1564 in the town of Stratford-upon-Avon, on England's Avon River. When he was eighteen, he married Anne Hathaway. The couple had three children--an older daughter Susanna and twins, Judith and Hamnet. Hamnet, Shakespeare's only son, died in childhood. The bulk of Shakespeare's working life was spent in the theater world of London, where he established himself professionally by the early 1590s. He enjoyed success not only as a playwright and poet, but also as an actor and shareholder in an acting company. Although some think that sometime between 1610 and 1613 Shakespeare retired from the theater and returned home to Stratford, where he died in 1616, others believe that he may have continued to work in London until close to his death.
