Historical Context:
● Language- First work of the semester that is not translated into modern english
● Written in a combination of prose and verse
0 Prose represents a familiar or familial tone
○ Verse represents a formal tone
■ You - Formal
■ Thee, Thou, Thy, etc.- informal

● In 1603 King James I ascended to the British Throne
0 The time period contained the Protestant reformation
○ The standing King served as the head of the Church instead of the Pope
○ England and Scotland were seperated

● Both the general public and the hierarchy were interested in King Lear and it was
performed for both groups of people.

, ● King Lear is not an original work, it was first told in 1135 as History of the Kings of
Britain, by Geoffrey Monmouth
● Shakespeare presents the ending differently than any other version, turning it into a
tragedy
● Originally came out as a Quarto, a paper folded in quarters, which was the original way
that Shakespeare’s plays came out (1608)
0 Was originally characterized as a history play
○ Then as it transitioned from Quarto to Folio (1623) it was characterized as a
tragedy
