The Indissoluble Knot: King Lear as Ironic Drama

By William F. Martin

This volume places King Lear within the context of ironic drama to redefine the play's generic premises. Its intent is to demonstrate the superiority of ironical drama to tragedy and to show that King Lear, more adequately than any precedent drama, affirms this fact.
