Until the 1960s, criticism of King Lear was dominated by overtly or implicitly Christian accounts. Despite the play's pagan setting and deliberate reduction of the Christian allusions overpopulating its chief dramatic source, a host of critics had laboured to turn the tragedy back into the kind of drama whose doctrinal clutch it was plainly anxious to escape. Still more had followed the less blatant trail blazed by A. C. Bradley and G. Wilson Knight, who devised readings in which Christian patterns and concepts survived in figurative disguise with their moralizing spirituality intact.
The idea of King Lear as a dramatized parable of sin, sacrifice and redemption took a nosedive, however, after Barbara Everett's sceptical attack in 1960, and never regained height after the publication of W. R. Elton's King Lear and the Gods. Such refutations helped foster the environment in which two new critical dynasties emerged to contest the throne from which the Christian interpretation of King Lear was being toppled. Conservative humanist critics redefined Lear's heroism as his capacity to absorb endless agonies and endure death itself without prospect of salvation, finding his life's purpose in this world rather than beyond the grave. Pitted against this view was a far bleaker reading of the playas refusing altogether the consolation of significance, whether Christian or secular, and abandoning us at the close without any support from systems of moral or artistic belief at all.
But the framework of assumptions and objectives within which these and other kinds of reading are now pursued has altered so dramatically over the last ten years as to justify our speaking of a new era in the study of King Lear. The reasons for the shift in direction can be summed up in one word: politics. Hitherto, critical quarrels about the vision of King Lear has largely been conducted in blithe indifference to the play's social implications for the present or its past political function reconsidered from a modern point of view. But the 1980s spawned a whole series of theoretically informed, polemical studies of Shakespeare, which exposed the conservative consequences of established approaches to his drama and promoted instead a range of perspectives committed to re-reading the plays in the light of innovative work on gender, race, power, language and the function of criticism itself.
