Book Synopsis Imagining Shakespeare's Pericles by : David Young
Download or read book Imagining Shakespeare's Pericles written by David Young and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2011-04-08 with total page 99 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pericles is widely understood to be the first of Shakespeare’s late romances, but it is also widely considered a problematic text with multiple authors. Its first two acts are frequently assigned to a man named George Wilkins. These conjectures about authorship, however, fail to take adequate account of Gower, the medieval poet who acts as chorus throughout and stages the old story of Apollonius of Tyre, here renamed Pericles. If Gower was not Shakespeare’s choice, then Wilkins (or whomever else is proposed as co-author) brilliantly anticipated many of the central themes of the late romances, an unlikely possibility. If Gower was Shakespeare’s idea, then the play must be re-examined in the light of Gower’s role as “co-author” and its bearing on the stagecraft and verse of Pericles. One way to do this is by narration, retracing what may have been Shakespeare’s creative process in conceiving and then writing the play. Told as a story, this argument for Shakespeare’s sole authorship can remain conjectural (and entertaining) at the same time that it puts forward serious scholarly arguments. This book, then, tells the story in twenty-one short chapters, which are followed by an Afterword that clarifies David Young’s scholarly position.

The play opens in the court of Antiochus, king of Antioch, who has offered the hand of his beautiful daughter to any man who answers his riddle; but those who fail shall die.Marina singing before Pericles, Thomas Stothard, 1825I am no viper, yet I feedOn mother's flesh which did me breed.I sought a husband, in which labourI found that kindness in a father:He's father, son, and husband mild;I mother, wife, and yet his child.How they may be, and yet in two,As you will live, resolve it you.Pericles, the young Prince of Tyre in Phoenicia, hears the riddle, and instantly understands its meaning: Antiochus is engaged in an incestuous relationship with his daughter. If he reveals this truth, he will be killed, but if he answers incorrectly, he will also be killed. Pericles hints that he knows the answer, and asks for more time to think. Antiochus grants him forty days, and then sends an assassin after him. However, Pericles has fled the city in disgust. Pericles returns to Tyre, where his trusted friend and counsellor Helicanus advises him to leave the city, for Antiochus surely will hunt him down. Pericles leaves Helicanus as regent and sails to Tarsus, a city beset by famine. The generous Pericles gives the governor of the city, Cleon, and his wife Dionyza, grain from his ship to save their people. The famine ends, and after being thanked profusely by Cleon and Dionyza, Pericles continues on.A storm wrecks Pericles' ship and washes him up on the shores of Pentapolis. He is rescued by a group of poor fishermen who inform him that Simonedes, King of Pentapolis, is holding a tournament the next day and that the winner will receive the hand of his daughter Thaisa in marriage. Fortunately, one of the fishermen drags Pericles' suit of armour on shore that very moment, and the prince decides to enter the tournament. Although his equipment is rusty, Pericles wins the tournament and the hand of Thaisa (who is deeply attracted to him) in marriage. Simonedes initially expresses doubt about the union, but soon comes to like Pericles and allows them to wed. A letter sent by the noblemen reaches Pericles in Pentapolis, who decides to return to Tyre with the pregnant Thaisa. Again, a storm arises while at sea, and Thaisa appears to die giving birth to her child, Marina. The sailors insist that Thaisa's body be set overboard in order to calm the storm. Pericles grudgingly agrees, and decides to stop at Tarsus because he fears that Marina may not survive the storm."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Shakespeare's History of Pericles, Prince of Tyre: Edited With Notes Shakespeare's part of this play is merely a rough sketch, which he seems to have thrown aside after making it; and this, like the inferior stuff used by another, or others, in finishing it for the stage, was wretchedly printed in the early editions. The text of all these is corrupt and confused almost beyond de scription. Many of the more manifest errors and imperfections were corrected by Malone, the first editor who gave the text serious attention. His successors have continued the work of emendation with varying success; but not a few passages have baffled all their efforts and must probably remain in hopeless, obscurity. The chief results of this scholarly labour are recorded in my notes. They have an interest for advanced stu dents and critical readers. Of course the play is never read in secondary schools, and seldom in the colleges or in Shakespeare clubs.
