M. William Shak-speare, his true chronicle historie of the life and death of King Lear and his three daughters

This series, the "Shakespearean Originals," seeks to give the reader of modern drama examples of 16th and 17th-century playtexts in a form that are published in as close as mirror-image form as possible to the original texts. This is paramount when considered such texts as historical documents. All volumes in the series include a general introduction to the series as well as to the particular play, the original text, a specific bibliography, full annotations and some sample facsimile pages from the original play text.
