About this title

Synopsis

"Pericles Prince of Tyre" is one of the most adventurous and sweeping works in the Shakespearean canon. Classified as one of the late romances, the play follows the episodic journey of Pericles, the noble Prince of Tyre, across the ancient Mediterranean world. The narrative begins with a dangerous riddle in Antioch and leads to a series of trials, including perilous shipwrecks, the winning of a princess, and the heart-wrenching loss of a wife and daughter.

Blending elements of folklore, classical myth, and high drama, "Pericles Prince of Tyre" explores profound themes of endurance, the fickle nature of fortune, and the eventual restoration of broken families. Its unique structure, guided by the medieval poet John Gower as a narrator, distinguishes it from the more traditional tragedies and comedies of its era. The work is celebrated for its lyrical beauty and its poignant exploration of how faith and patience can overcome even the most tragic circumstances. This edition provides a clear presentation of the text, allowing readers to experience the epic scope and moving reunion scenes that have made the play a enduring subject of literary study and theatrical performance.
