Likely written around 1607 or 1608 and attributed at least in part to Shakespeare, Pericles, Prince of Tyre is an adventure-filled play that follows the extended sailing journeys of a young prince. Pericles, a young prince from Phoenicia, is forced to flee Antioch when he correctly guesses a riddle that reveals the incestuous activity of King Antiochus. Unable to stay at home in Tyre because of Antiochus' vengeance, he sails away and ends up shipwrecked in Pentapolis, where he fights in a tournament and wins the hand of a princess named Thaisa in marriage. Pericles and Thaisa face many trials, tribulations, and a long separation. Their struggles, and those of their daughter Marina, fill the remaining acts of Pericles with misfortune and grief, as well as joy and a truly heartwarming reunion. A laudable and entertaining component of Shakespeare's collection of plays, Pericles was one of his most popular works during his own lifetime and continues to be performed as part of modern revivals and festivals. Pericles' epic adventures remain a compelling story of family and struggle that continues to resonate with readers to this day. This edition is printed on premium acid-free paper, includes annotations by Henry N. Hudson, and an introduction by Charles H. Herford.
