King lear. shakespeare's dark consolations, hardback/***

A book on the experience of reading Shakespeares dark plays which often begin with lives falling apart: an event-shipwreck, exile, doubt, or unexpected love-derails what had seemed secure.

Those who participate in the plays, as players, audience members, or readers, are invited to see in those events the vulnerability of their own lives.
