THE HISTORY OF KING LEAR, A TRAGEDY; AS IT IS NOW ACTED AT THE KING'S THEATRES. REVIVED, WITH ALTERATIONS, [ William (Shakespeare) ], N. Tate
C. Hitch and L. Hawes 1763 Paperback Very Good with no dust jacket
B&W Illustrations; 16mo 6" - 7" tall; 69, [2] pages; THE HISTORY OF KING LEAR, A TRAGEDY; As it is now acted at the King's Theatres. Revived, with Alterations. Restored in paper wrappers and stored in a protective folding clamshell case of thick paper. Solidly bound with clean, age-toned pages. The book measures approximately 4" x 6 1/2". A scarce, small version of William Shakespeare's King Lear, with alterations by Nahum Tate. Nahum Tate is best known today as the author of the most famous-and infamous-adaptation of a Shakespeare play, his version of King Lear. During his lifetime, he established himself as an all-around man of letters, producing a wide range of poetry and drama. After the failure of his original play, The Loyal General, Tate limited his playwriting activities to adaptations of Renaissance texts. New versions of earlier plays that no longer pleased audiences had been a regular feature of the theatre since it reopened with the Restoration. The success of Dryden's All for Love (1677) intensified interest in neglected plays by Shakespeare, and Tate was but one of the many playwrights to attempt to cash in on the vogue. In quick succession, he offered versions of Richard II, King Lear, and Coriolanus. Tate applied the same general approach to each play, removing ambiguities from plots, characters, and language, and borrowing roughly fifty percent of his lines from Shakespeare's text. Each play, however, received a wildly different response. ***The result of Tate's work was the now infamous happy ending: the marriage of Cordelia and Edgar and the regularizing of Shakespeare's language for the more refined taste of the late seventeenth century; his characters by providing clear motivations for their actions; and his plot by removing indecorous comedy (such as the fool). *** Tate's Lear was remarkably successful, perhaps the most successful Shakespearean adaptation of all time. It held the stage for 150 years as audiences continued to prefer it to the original. It is so enmeshed in the performance history of Shakespeare's masterpiece that it has a permanent place. It was first produced for use in "The Duke's Theatres" and as it became more successful, reissued for the "King's Theatres". Illustrated with headpieces and tailpieces. ESTC# T151986, 1763 edition not listed. 31316
