Book description
Pericles, Prince of Tyre, must solve a riddle in order to marry the
daughter of the King of Antioch, or be put to death. But when the answer
reveals a horrific secret, the young man faces his greatest dilemma.
Danger and adventure follow as Pericles flees the city to find his
fortune elsewhere, in a romantic drama of families lost and reunited,
evil punished and virtue rewarded. Dr Eugene Giddens teaches Mediaeval
and Renaissance literature, with particular attention to gender,
textuality, and history. He is a General Editor of The Complete Works of
James Shirley (forthcoming with Oxford University Press in 2015). He is
also an Associate Editor on The Cambridge Edition of the Works of Ben
Jonson (forthcoming with Cambridge University Press in 2006).
