Sir Sidney Lee (1859 - 1926) was an English biographer and critic. He was a lifelong scholar and enthusiast of Shakespeare.

newsmode Revue de presse
King Lear est une pièce qui, par sa violence et sa poésie, transcende les époques. La folie de Lear, la cruauté de ses filles, et la lucidité du Fou en font une œuvre d’une intensité rare, où chaque mot résonne comme un coup de poignard.
La tragédie de King Lear est un miroir tendu à notre époque : la trahison, la vieillesse abandonnée, et la quête de sens y sont peintes avec une force qui n’a pas vieilli. Une pièce qui, encore aujourd’hui, nous parle de nos propres folies.
Shakespeare, avec King Lear, pousse le tragique à son paroxysme. La pièce, d’une noirceur inégalée, interroge la nature humaine et les limites du pouvoir. Un chef-d’œuvre à relire sans cesse, surtout dans cette édition enrichie de la biographie de Sidney Lee.
