Pericles, Prince of Tyre: A Novelization
The Complete Romance Retold as a Full Prose Narrative
Experience the Shipwrecks, the Lost Daughter, and the Music of the Spheres-Without the Language Barrier.
Step onto the shifting tides of the ancient Levant in this immersive and psychologically resonant novelization of William Shakespeare's Pericles, Prince of Tyre. In this masterful adaptation, the sprawling, episodic adventure and miraculous redemption of the stage are brought to life through a seamless integration of the original 1608 dialogue with vivid, modern descriptive prose.
Dr. Peter Fogarty's Novelized Classic transforms one of the Bard's most structurally unique and moving Late Romances into a sophisticated reading experience. By weaving the iconic lines into a fluid narrative, this edition provides the sensory detail, maritime atmosphere, and internal character depth often lost in a traditional script format. It is the definitive resource for students, educators, and readers seeking to navigate the journey from devastating loss to the celestial music of restoration.
A Narrative of Virtue and the Violent Sea:
Pericles is a prince in flight, driven from his home by a lethal secret and pursued across the Mediterranean by the storms of fate. His journey is one of radical instability: a shipwrecked beggar one day, a celebrated champion and husband the next, and finally a grieving father convinced he has lost everything to the waves. But Pericles is a story of resilient virtue. In the figure of his daughter Marina-born in a tempest and preserved through trials of kidnapping and corruption-the play explores how purity of spirit can command even the most jaded hearts. This novelization captures every nuance of this mythic arc, providing the psychological clarity necessary for a modern audience to explore the themes of providence, patience, and the truth that will surface again.
Why This Scholarly Adaptation is Essential:
Textual Integrity: This version remains 100% faithful to Shakespeare's original dialogue, preserving the archaic charm of the Gower choruses, the biting wit of the Pander, and the rhythmic brilliance of the Early Modern English text.
Narrative Expansion: Cryptic stage directions and the rapid shifts between ancient cities (Antioch, Tyre, Tarsus, Ephesus) are replaced with lush, cinematic descriptions of royal courts and sacred temples.
Psychological Insight: The novel format allows readers to enter the humbled consciousness of Pericles and the unwavering moral strength of Marina, clarifying the themes of divine grace and the restoration of the family unit.
Curriculum Optimized: Featuring a structured chapter-per-scene arc, this edition is specifically designed for IB/MYP, GCSE, A-Level, and AP Literature analysis.
Witness the resurrection of the lost in a form you have never read before. From the riddle of Antiochus to the final reunion at the Temple of Diana, experience the miracle of Pericles with total immersion.
