King Lear
King Lear ('Rex Lear') est tragoedia a Gulielmo Shakesperio docta. Descensum per gradus in furorem Lear senis pingit postquam regnum, blandimentis corruptus, in partes binis e suis filiis tribus tribuit, qua pro causa omnes damno miserabiliter afficiuntur. Ludus, e fabula traditionali ortus de quodam Leir Britannico, mythologico rege Celtico, qui priusquam Romani advenerunt regnabat, latissime ad scaenam pelliculasque accommodatus est, primis partibus a pluribus e perpolitis orbis terrarum histrionibus cupide appetitis.

Tragoedia confecta est inter annos fere 1603 et 1606, edita in quarto anno 1608, et in editione in folio (titulo Mr. William Shakespeares Comedies, Histories & Tragedies) anno 1623 complexa.

Historia

Trivia 
Opera "Lear" tragoediam Shakesperii sequens a compositore Ariberto Reimann annis ab 1976 ad 1978 facta est.
