I've got 40 or so versions of KING LEAR, & tonight am registering three of the more reliable and recent editions of this stupendous play, "a Stonehenge of the mind." Jay Halio's 1992 New Cambridge edition prints a text that adheres to the 1623 Folio; it's NOT the Quarto/Folio "conflation" which most of us wrongly assume represents an authentic text from original sources. That said, even Halio makes some (to my mind) unwarranted editorial interventions. R. A. Foakes 1997 "Arden Third Series" text is still a conflation, even is it editorially signals Q-F differences. Stephen Orgel's 2000 Pelican volume provides separate versions of Q and F.
