"The Geopolitics of King Lear: Territory, Land, Earth"
Author:
Elden, Stuart.
Type:
Journal Article
Year:
2013
Publication Information:
Law and Literature 26, no. 2 (2013): 147–65.
Annotation:

Examining the geopolitics of King Lear in terms of territory, land, and earth, argues that the features shed light on Shakespeare's opinions on the politics of geography. Also examines differences between the Quarto and Folio editions of King Lear in order to establish their different portrayals of the identity of Cordelia's invading force. English summary, 147. In a response ("Toward Tyranny: Geopolitics and Genre, a Response to Stuart Elden," 166-74), Fionnuala O'Neill seeks to redress the "depoliticization" of King Lear by putting it into conversation with Shakespeare's history plays instead of his tragedies; contends that Richard II and King Lear respond anxiously to the "reappropriation of the language of the corpus mysticum into the service of absolute monarchy."
