Annotation:
	Reads King Lear and Nahum Tate's adaptation, The History of King Lear, in terms of an archipelagic framework, focusing on "interactions between the ethnic, religious and national groups around the 'Atlantic Archipelago' including Great Britain and Ireland." Argues that political difference between Shakespeare's and Tate's treatments of the Lear story "characterizes Tate's reconfiguration of Shakespeare as a response to the altered political context of the Exclusion Crisis."
