Himself a famous playwright, Bernard Shaw once claimed: "It is impossible for the human mind to conceive a greater play than KING LEAR." This course will consist mainly of a close study of Shakespeare's masterpiece. Attention will also be paid to cultural/historical context. We will conclude with a briefer encounter with his final play, which presents a radically different way of conceiving the world.
