Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book presents an insightful study of George Lillo's adaptation of Shakespeare's Pericles, exploring the playwright's artistic choices and the historical context within which they were made. The author argues that Lillo's adaptation, often overlooked within the study of English literature, stands as a significant work in its own right, demonstrating the evolving nature of drama in the 18th century. Through a detailed analysis of the text, the book reveals Lillo's motivations for altering Shakespeare's original, his emphasis on domestic tragedy and social issues, and his desire to create a more morally didactic play that appealed to the sensibilities of his time. By examining the significance of Lillo's adaptation, this book enriches our understanding of the influence and reception of Shakespeare's work, highlighting its continued relevance and adaptability across generations.
