When William Shakespeare sat down to write The Tragedy of King Lear in the year 1605, he had fifteen years of drama writing and forty-one years of experiencing life behind him. By this time, Shakespeare, Poet-Dramatist, had succeeded in the technical mastery of his art, but Shakespeare, Man, was far from finished in his profound questioning of Life. As a matter of fact, it is in King Lear where Shakespeare's growing awareness of all that is most deeply disturbing in human life forces him to come to terms with questions probing into the nature of man, as well as man's relationships with his fellowman and with the world around him. And since the play has so transcended time from the Elizabethan Era to our Atomic Age, the curiosity to see why King Lear is so immortal brings us to do a little of our own exploration. --From the introduction
