Editorial Review:
Offering a powerful new interpretation of Shakespeare's masterpiece, Kahn reads the play as a meditation on political psychology. King Lear, he argues, juxtaposes the necessities of love to those of the state and finds only incommensurability. Neither law nor love can include the other. This is an original, thorough, and clearly written interdisciplinary work that offers not only surprising new readings of all the major characters in the play, it also expands the horizons of literary studies by introducing the legal imagination.
