by William Shakespeare (Author)
William Shakespeare (1564-1616) was an English poet, playwright, and actor. He is generally considered the greatest dramatist of all time, the greatest English writer, and one of the greatest writers in any language. Shakespeare is best known for his plays, many written for his own acting troupe, which are still regularly staged today.
King Lear was written around 1605 and is one of Shakespeare's "Big Four" tragedies (the others being Hamlet, Macbeth, and Othello). Drawing on British mythology, Shakespeare tells a story of love, betrayal, and ultimately redemption. Of it, George Bernard Shaw said, "No man will ever write a better tragedy than Lear."
