Poor Tom: Living "King Lear"
Simon Palfrey
One of the most memorable Shakespearean characters is Edgar in King Lear. The author asks us to rethink all those received ideas - and thus to experience King Lear as never before. He argues that Edgar is Shakespeare's most radical experiment in characterization - and also his most exhaustive model of both human and theatrical possibility.
