Almanac: Anthony Hecht on why King Lear speaks to us by Terry Teachout

"It occurs to me that of all Shakespeare's plays King Lear is the one I have been and continue to be most moved by. It is probably the bleakest of the plays, the most unconsoling." Anthony Hecht, letter to John Van Doren, February 16, 2002 (courtesy of Anecdotal Evidence)
