Shakespeare's King Lear, from the Riverside anthology, c. 1974.
- the subplot of Gloucester and his sons has no historical connection with the Lear story, and is borrowed from the story of the Paphlagonian King in Sidney's Arcadia
- Paphlagonia: north-central Turkey, along the Black Sea; one of many, many provinces at the time
- grafting the Gloucester episode on to British history augments the tragic thought in the greatest of his double plots
- from Riverside:
Shakespeare removes the anachronistic Christianity of the old play, converts its storm from a signal that divine justice is impending into an image of evil chaos, allows Cordelia to be defeated and murdered, and will not allow Lear to enjoy the restored majesty offered him by Albany as he bends over the dead body of his daughter.
Gloucester's suffering, the wickedness of Edmund, the multiple role of Edgar, the brilliant commentary of the Fool, the sexual looseness of Goneril and Regan -- all this is new to the Lear story. Changes of such magnitude cannot be studied in isolation; one's view of Shakespeare's object in making them depends upon his view of the whole play.
