The True Chronicle History Of King Leir: And His Three Daughters, Gonorill, Ragan, And Cordella (1907) - Hardcover

""The True Chronicle History of King Leir and His Three Daughters, Gonorill, Ragan, and Cordella"" is a play written by John Wright in 1907. The play is based on the legend of King Lear, a tragic story of a king who divides his kingdom among his three daughters and suffers the consequences of his actions. In this version, King Leir's two eldest daughters, Gonorill and Ragan, are selfish and cruel, while his youngest daughter, Cordella, is kind and virtuous. When Leir becomes old and frail, he seeks to divide his kingdom among his daughters, but his two eldest daughters refuse to care for him, leaving him to wander the countryside in despair. Cordella, however, remains loyal to her father and eventually restores him to his rightful place as king. The play explores themes of family, loyalty, and the consequences of greed and selfishness.As It Hath Been Diverse And Sundry Times Lately Acted.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
