DOWNLOAD EBOOKOne of the most popular of Shakespeare's plays, King Lear is also one of the most thought-provoking. The play turns on the practical ramifications of the words of Christ that we should render unto Caesar that which is Caesar's and unto God that which is God's. When confronted with the demand that she should render unto Caesar that which is God's, Cordelia chooses to "love and be silent". As the play unfolds each of the principal characters learns wisdom through suffering. This edition includes new critical essays by some of the leading lights in contemporary literary scholarship.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKSince there was hardly any book written on the concept of ‘New Woman’ compiling the works of Indian English writers, the author had long-felt desire to bring out a compact volume in this field. The present volume is like a dream come true as it prepares the solid ground for the long-cherished desire of the author. The book New Woman in Indian English Literature: From Covert to Overt is an attempt to combining the varied shapes of new emerging trend of womanhood in Indian English Literature into a single whole.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK"King Lear, for the author is this book, is the most marvelous and moving piece of dramatic literature in the whole world. And lest this be regarded as the natural prejudice of a life-long enthusiast for Shakespeare, Mr. Lothian backs up his own opinion with that of Professor Dowden, 'King Lear is indeed the greatest single achievement in poetry of the Northen genius,' and of Maurice Maeterlinck, 'The tragedy of the old king constitutes the mightiest, the vastest, the most stirring, the most intense dramatic poem that has ever been written. What makes King Lear 'the most marvelous and moving piece of dramatic literature in the whole world'? Certainly not the plot which, in its barest outlines, the fairy story of a king and his three daughters, was already well known in Shakespeare's day. It is, then, Mr. Lothian feels, the additions that Shakespeare's genius made to it that have transmuted the fairy story into the masterpiece that it is. In the opening chapter of his book, the author considers in detail the additions made by Shakespeare to the old fairy tale. Later chapters deal with the meaning of the play, its significance and structure, with the character of Lear's Fool, with the weird world of the mind in which the mad king moved and lived, and with Edgar, a singularly complex character, who though cast in a minor role, is of prime importance to the development of the play." -Publisher.
