Absolutely brilliant! The themes of family, power, and madness are timeless. The Pelican notes helped unravel some of the complexities.
Siddharth Goyal –
Orgel’s notes are invaluable, making this edition a must-have for students. The conflated text is interesting, though occasionally confusing. A solid edition.
Shrey Kumar Singh –
Shakespeare at his finest, but it’s a heavy, depressing story. Prepare yourself for a bleak journey. The Pelican edition is well-edited and presented.
Aditi Tripathi –
I struggled with the language, even with the notes. The story itself is powerful, but it took a lot of effort to get through. Not my favorite Shakespeare play.
Meena Choudhary –
Excellent edition of King Lear. The conflated text provides a comprehensive view. Very insightful and helpful notes section. I would recommend.
Shirin Sachdeva –
A well-edited version of a masterpiece. It’s a tough play, emotionally draining, but ultimately rewarding. Be ready for a very sad ending!
Sonamsi –
Good for academic study, but not an easy read for pleasure. The language is very challenging. The background information was appreciated though.
Jinendra –
A classic for a reason! Lear’s descent is powerfully portrayed. However, some of the language felt a bit dense for a casual reader. Overall, a worthwhile but challenging read.
Shreyash Dadhich –
A profoundly moving tragedy. The Pelican edition offers excellent background and context. Highly recommended for anyone interested in Shakespeare.
Mohd Fahad Khan –
This edition made the play accessible, but I still found it hard to connect with the characters. Lear’s madness is disturbing, but not always engaging.
