| Found in | His Shakespeare's The tragedie of King Lear, 1927: t.p. (Shakespeare's The tragedie of King Lear) Wikipedia, June 8, 2014 (King Lear is a tragedy by William Shakespeare; The play was written between 1603 and 1606 and later revised. Shakespeare's earlier version, The True Chronicle of the History of the Life and Death of King Lear and His Three Daughters, was published in quarto in 1608. The Tragedy of King Lear, a more theatrical version, was included in the 1623 First Folio. Modern editors usually conflate the two, though some insist that each version has its individual integrity that should be preserved) OpenSource Shakespeare, via WWW, June 8, 2014 (The Tragedy of King Lear (1605)) Britannica online, June 8, 2014 (King Lear, tragedy in five acts by William Shakespeare, written in 1605-06 and published in a quarto edition in 1608, evidently based on Shakespeare's unrevised working papers. The text of the First Folio of 1623 often differs markedly from the quarto text and seemingly represents a theatrical revision done by the author with some cuts designed for shortened performance) |
