Abstract

An innovative book that draws attention with force and clarity to the prophetic center and apocalyptic framework of King Lear. Wittreich demonstrates how Shakespeare mined scripture for analogies that pluralise the play's meaning and universalize its significance. In exploring the play's literary and cultural relations, this book addresses the larger question of King Lear's sources, genre, and Christian character.
