Périclès Tragédie

Summary

"Périclès" by William Shakespeare is a Jacobean play written around 1608-1609, likely in collaboration with George Wilkins. This maritime adventure follows Prince Pericles as he flees a dangerous secret, survives storms and shipwrecks, and endures devastating losses across the Mediterranean. Through tournaments, treachery, and miraculous reunions, the tale weaves together themes of virtue tested by fortune's cruelest turns. Guided by the medieval poet Gower as chorus, the story explores how families torn apart by fate might find each other again through divine intervention and steadfast faith.
