This volume, part of Allman's English Classics for Elementary Schools series (No. 69), presents a curated selection from Shakespeare's most devastating tragedy, centring on the ageing King Lear and his three daughters — a portrait of pride, ingratitude, and the catastrophic unravelling of a kingdom. The text places the reader at the heart of one of literature's most shattering domestic dramas, as a father's misplaced trust ignites a storm of deception, madness, and irreversible loss.\n\nShakespeare's King Lear stands as one of the supreme achievements of the English Renaissance stage, and this accessible school edition brought its towering themes — power, loyalty, filial duty, and the chaos that follows their corruption — to a new generation of readers. Crafted for the classroom yet resonant far beyond it, this compact anthology illustrates the enduring pedagogical power of Shakespeare's verse, inviting students to wrestle with questions of justice and human nature that remain as urgent today as they were in the early seventeenth century. A relic of Victorian literary education, this slim volume is a doorway into one of the most tempestuous minds ever to put pen to paper.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49203202392283,"sku":"2026200015345-SECONDHAND","price":12.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/58d84e09-34e1-4ba9-86e3-0c5ae9b205d7.png?v=1788145546","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200015345-secondhand-selections-from-shakespeare-king-lear-and-his-daughters-from-king-lear","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
