The text of the play included here, prepared by Craig Walker for The Broadview Anthology of British Literature, has been acclaimed for its outstanding introductory material and annotations, and for its inclusion of parellel text versions of key scenes for which the texts of the Quarto and the Folio versions of the play are substantially different.Also included in this edition are excerpts from a variety of literary source materials (including Geoffrey on Monmouths Historia Regum Britanniae, the anonymous True Chronicle Historie of King Leir, and Samuel Harsnetts A Declaration of Egregious Popish Impostures); material on the historical Annesley case that raised many of the same issues as does Shakespeares play; and the happy ending from Nahum Tates version of the play, which held the stage for 150 years after its first performance in 1681.
