Abstract:This article argues that King Lear decouples kindness and kinship in ways that raise questions of recognition. Because Lear deliberately breaks his kinship bond with Cordelia, Aristotelian anagnorisis cannot suffice to reconcile them. Hegelian Anerkennung frames recognition as a process of creating relational bonds but grounds this process in a struggle that does not structure the reconciliation between Lear and Cordelia. Consequently, I argue that kindness in the play consists of a freedom to meet ontological human vulnerability with relational care. The play's tragedy lies in the way that kindness, because both vulnerable and free, comes with no guarantees.
期刊介绍：
SEL focuses on four fields of British literature in rotating, quarterly issues: English Renaissance, Tudor and Stuart Drama, Restoration and Eighteenth Century, and Nineteenth Century. The editors select learned, readable papers that contribute significantly to the understanding of British literature from 1500 to 1900. SEL is well known for thecommissioned omnibus review of recent studies in the field that is included in each issue. In a single volume, readers might find an argument for attributing a previously unknown work to Shakespeare or de-attributing a famous work from Milton, a study ofthe connections between class and genre in the Restoration Theater.
