EDITORS COMMENTS
Title Page: King Lear - Lear and Cordelia (1862) This title page, taken from an 1862 edition of William Shakespeare's tragic play, "King Lear," showcases a poignant moment between the titular character, King Lear, and his beloved daughter, Cordelia. The image, published during the Victorian era, is a testament to the enduring power of Shakespeare's works in the English literary and theatrical tradition. Sir John Gilbert, a renowned English illustrator, created this illustration for the title page. The illustration depicts an elderly King Lear, dressed in regal attire, seated on horseback, with his arms outstretched towards his daughter, Cordelia, who stands beside him. Soldiers and horses are present in the background, hinting at the tumultuous events that have transpired in the play, including the gathering of armies and the father-daughter conflict. Despite the ominous backdrop, the title page conveys a sense of hope and reunion, as King Lear and Cordelia are reunited after a long period of estrangement. The image encapsulates the complex emotions of the play, including love, loyalty, and the inevitable passage of time. The title page serves as an invitation to readers and theatergoers to delve into the world of "King Lear," a timeless play that continues to captivate audiences with its exploration of the human condition and the intricacies of family relationships. This beautiful illustration is a reminder of the enduring power of Shakespeare's works and their continued relevance in English literature and drama.
