5.0 out of 5 stars Pericles and Cymbeline are treats!, February 2, 2005

P. Schumacher (atlanta, GA United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Pericles; Cymbeline; The Two Noble Kinsman (Signet Classics) (Paperback)
I picked this 3-in-1 up because I had never read Pericles or the Two Noble Kinsmen.

I had seen a video of Pericles and liked it.

Reading it is equally fun.

True, it's a mishmash, only three-fifths or so by Shakespeare; but it's great fun. Incest! Pirates! Resurrection! A Dea ex machina (Diana)! Treachery! Pimps! Prostitutes! True love! Impossible reunions! Transformed lives!

What more could you ask?

Cymbeline is also great; though less fun and darker. Cloten and Iachimo are genuinely despicable; Imogen truly strong and wise. Plus, the whole thing was written by Shakespeare, so there is the constant amazing poetry.

Still haven't read Two Noble Kinsmen (based on Chaucer).

The edition is very good in that it contains illuminating but not pedantic introductions, as well as excerpts from sources and essays variously helpful.
