The plot centers on an aging monarch who seeks to divide his kingdom among his three daughters, testing their love for him. The eldest daughters, Regan and Goneril, deceive him with flattery, while the youngest, Cordelia, speaks truthfully and is disowned. This misguided decision leads Lear into madness, highlighting themes of human folly and the tragic consequences of betrayal. Regarded as one of Shakespeare's most powerful works, this edition features annotations by Henry N. Hudson and an introduction by Charles H. Herford, printed on premium acid-free paper.
