Shakespeare's Pericles has been rescued from comparative neglect and is now frequently performed. The editors regard the arguments concerning a seriously corrupt text and divided authorship as unproven and misleading. Instead they show the play to be a unified aesthetic experience.
William Shakespeare (1564 -1616) was an English poet, playwright, and actor, widely regarded as the greatest writer in the English language and the world's pre-eminent dramatist.[2] He is often called England's national poet, and the "Bard of Avon". His extant works, including collaborations, consist of approximately 38 plays, 154 sonnets, two long narrative poems, and a few other verses, some of uncertain authorship. His plays have been translated into every major living language and are performed more often than those of any other playwright.
