Description

Diana L. Paxson goes far beyond the familiar text of Shakespeare's famous play to explore the tragic story of the aging high King Lear (Leir Blatonikos), whose misplaced trust in his two dishonest daughters forces his youngest child into exile--and subjects his entire kingdom to disaster. The Serpent's Tooth portrays a harsh land of warrior women, animistic sacrifices, and brutal tribal warfare. Maps.
