First of this edition, being side-by-side texts with the original text and a modern rendition -- "The Shakespeare Parallel Text Series." Though the three volumes in this series (the others are "Hamlet" and "Julius Caesar") are often seen in a slipcase, this unusual copy features a never-before-seen DUST JACKET showing a David Levinesque caricature of a dark, glowering Lear and notes, "Presented with the compliments of Great Northern Paper."
