Since Stanley Wells and Gary Taylor published the Oxford edition in 1986, which included the two versions, the First Quarto (Q 1) and the First Folio (F 1), of King Lear, the idea of two substantive and legitimate texts has become largely accepted. Among those who produced editions based on the Quarto are Jay Halio (The New Cambridge Shakespeare, 1994), Graham Holderness (1995), Stephen Greenblatt (The Norton Shakespeare, 1997), and Wells himself (The Oxford Shakespeare, 2000). It is true, however, that a number of scholars, reluctant to accept the two―text theory, still prefer to use the conflated Lear text such as the Arden Shakespeare (ed. by R. A. Foakes, 1997). This paper aims to shed new light on the understanding of the multiple meaning of ‘nothing’ in the play, particularly in the First Quarto. The idea of ‘nothing’ lies at the centre of King Lear, especially as it pertains to the Q 1 version’s other significant features ― theatricality and exorcism. Considering the interpretation of these concepts in the context of the Quarto Lear will lead to a new understanding of the Lear world, in terms of ‘artificial exorcism’ and ‘the theatre of nothing’.
