This work aims to analyze in a comparative way the tragedy King Lear, by William Shakespeare, and its adaptation The History of King Lear, by the Irish poet Nahum Tate. In order to make this comparative study practicable, it ́s necessary to understand conceptions of tragedy, since conceptions from the Ancient Greece to the Shakespearean tragedy, the social and historical contexts of the Elizabethan era (when the Shakespearean dramaturgy came to light and was developed) and the Restoration era (when Tate ́s adaptation was written) and theories about literary adaptation, having in mind that adaptations are based in a context and the tastes of the audience in a specific time. The theoreticians who guided our work are Gerard Genette (2006), Julie Sanders (2006), Linda Hutcheon (2006), Aristotle (1995), Friedrich Nietzsche (2007), Anatol Rosenfeld (1993), Albin Leski (2006), A.C. Bradley (1992), Frank Kermode (2006), Bárbara Heliodora (2001), Marjorie Garber (2004), Marlene Soares dos Santos (2008), James Black (1975), and others.
