Part of: The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (The Oxford Shakespeare) Pericles Prince of Tyre
- William Shakespeare (author)
- William James Craig (editor)
Pericles, Prince of Tyre is unique among Shakespeare’s plays, as it imports a famous medieval poet, John Gower, to serve as the narrator and interpreter of the play’s events. Neither a tragedy nor a comedy, but combining elements of both, the play may best be characterized as a romance for the stage. This edition comes from the 1916 Oxford University Press edition of all of Shakespeare’s plays and poems.
