Sistory Untold

Mean or Misunderstood? Sisterhood in King Lear


Listen Later

This episode is a Sistory Untold first! We are talking about three fictional women: Goneril, Regan, and Cordelia in William Shakespeare's beloved tragedy, King Lear. The older sisters in this play are often portrayed as pure evil, but is that the case? We talk about that and so much more in this episode! We also talk about the legend that inspired Shakespeare's play, and compare the way these women were represented in each version of the story. And, because this is a history podcast after all, we bombard you with a bunch of random (but interesting!) facts about women in Elizabethan England.
