Howard\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis guide argues that \u003ci\u003eKing Lear's \u003c\/i\u003eelemental power springs from its language, which is at once simple, relentless, and riddling, and from its full-blown double plot that multiplies unbearably both the follies and the pain of its protagonists. It also explores recent critical approaches to the play and its theatre history.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe \u003ci\u003eLanguage and Writing\u003c\/i\u003e series offers a new type of study aid which  combines lively critical insight with practical guidance on the critical  and writing skills students need to develop in order to engage fully  with Shakespeare's texts. The books' core focus is on language: both  understanding and enjoying Shakespeare's rich and complex dramatic  language, and the student's own critical language and how she or he can  improve and develop this to become a critical writer.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eReview(s):\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eISBN:  9781472518361\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e ","brand":"The Arden Shakespeare","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":40600497324238,"sku":"9781472518361","price":61.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/pickwickbookshop.com\/products\/9781472518361","provider":"Pickwick Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
