Annotation:
	Contends that Turgenev effectively presents Martin Harlov as a King Lear figure in "Lear of the Steppes," a loose adaptation, adding gravitas to his story. Recounts how Turgenev's characters, sitting around a table, share one Shakespearean character "they have met in reality: Hamlet, Othello, Falstaff, Richard III and Macbeth," before turning to Lear. Russian summary, 5; English summary, 13.
