The Demands of Editing King Lear

“When thou dost ask me blessing, I’ll kneel down
And ask of thee forgiveness.” —King Lear, Act 5 Scene 3

Enter the office of Peter Holland, McMeel Professor of Shakespeare Studies at Notre Dame and Chair of the International Shakespeare Association,  with Dr. Jennifer Birkett, Shakespeare at Notre Dame’s postdoctoral research associate, to learn more about Holland’s current, and perhaps most daunting, project: editing King Lear for the upcoming Arden Shakespeare Fourth Series. Listen in to the inside story of not only the task of editing Shakespeare, but also the demands of editing King Lear.
