Pericles

More about the book

The play features the journey of Pericles, who faces numerous challenges and adventures, including the separation from his daughter, Marina. While traditionally attributed to Shakespeare, the authorship is debated, with evidence suggesting he wrote approximately half of the text, particularly the latter acts. The first two acts, which detail Pericles' travels, are believed to be the work of a collaborator, possibly George Wilkins. This exploration of authorship adds depth to the understanding of the play's creation and its themes of loss and reunion.
