It contains Shakespeare's original play, a glossary, and expert commentary in a unique, 2-column format. To enhance your learning, notes and definitions appear directly opposite the line in which they occur, and a review section follows the play. This edition also introduces you to the life, works, and times of William Shakespeare.Mulder, Stacy is the author of 'Cliffscomplete King Lear' with ISBN 9780764585715 and ISBN 0764585711.
