A Shakespearean Tragedy The story follows the aging King Lear of Britain, who decides to divide his kingdom among his three daughters based on their declarations of love for him. However, his youngest and most beloved daughter, Cordelia, refuses to flatter him as her sisters do, leading Lear to disown her. As Lear’s decision unfolds, he faces betrayal, cruelty, and the loss of his sanity. First written sometime between 1603 and 1606, this edition is derived from the book published in 1864 with 20 black & white illustrations by H. C. Selous.

Shortlisted for the Costa Poetry Award 2019 Shortlisted for the T.S. Eliot Prize 2019 Jay Bernard's extraordinary debut is a fearlessly original exploration of the black British archive: an enquiry into the New Cross Fire of 1981, a house fire at a birthday party in south London in which thirteen young black people were killed. Dubbed the 'New Cross Massacre', the fire was initially believed to be a racist attack, and the indifference with which the tragedy was met by the state triggered a new era of race relations in Britain.Tracing a line from New Cross to the 'towers of blood' of the Grenfell fire, this urgent collection speaks with, in and of the voices of the past, brought back by the incantation of dance-hall rhythms and the music of Jamaican patois, to form a living presence in the absence of justice. A ground-breaking work of excavation, memory and activism - both political and personal, witness and documentary - Surge shines a much-needed light on an unacknowledged chapter in British history, one that powerfully resonates in our present moment. 'Reading Jay Bernard's Surge is like tapping into an energy source that reveals, in a blasting combination of excavation and incantation, a surfacing understanding that connects the landscapes of the New Cross fire and the Grenfell Tower fire...and delivers these revelations with a strength and a gravity and a communal force of voice that shakes every inhumane system' Ali Smith, New statesman 'Politically and lyrically compelling' Raymond Antrobus, Observer 'A range of poetic forms bring energy to this reappraisal of race, nation and embodiment' Sandeep Parmar, Guardian
