King Lear was written by William Shakespeare and published in 1587. This tragedy is very well known and is played by many great actors throughout time. There are two different versions of the play: The True Chronicle of the History of the Life and Death of King Lear and His Three Daughters, which appeared in 1608, and The Tragedy of King Lear which appeared in 1623. The two are commonly printed in a regular text version. Yet many editors say that each version has its own delicacy.Since World War II, it has been considered to be one of Shakespeare’s greatest achievements; especially because of its description on the nature of human suffering and kinship on a cosmic scale.
