Jason L. reviewed The Tragedy of King Lear (Signet Classic Shakespeare Series) on + 6 more book reviews
I found the footnotes in this version fairly odd. I haven't read any Shakespeare since high school, so I don't know if they're better or worse than others, but they were lacking. There were translations for some words that certainly didn't need it (for instance "obey" was updated to "submit to"). There were other times when I was hoping for a little more context, and I didn't get any information.
Although I have none to recommend, I'd take my chances with a different edition of this title.
