In return they strip him of his power and condemn him to a wretched wasteland of horror and insanity. Set in a pitiless universe, King Lear is a towering, elemental masterpiece of fierce poetry and vast imaginative scope.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUsed and Recommended by the National TheatreGeneral Editor Stanley WellsEdited by George HunterIntroduction by Kiernan Ryan\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cobham Bookshop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55491478880642,"sku":"9780141396460","price":8.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0569\/4567\/2367\/files\/9780141396460.jpg?v=1753748315","url":"https:\/\/www.cobhambooks.live\/products\/9780141396460","provider":"Cobham Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
