Thwarting the Wayward Seas: A Critical and Theatrical History of Shakespeare's Pericles in the Nineteenth and Twentieth Centuries

by David Skeele

In Thwarting the Wayward Seas, Skeele offers a fascinating account of the reaction to Pericles by the typical Victorian critic, including a discussion of the play's anomalously successful Victorian stage production. He also discusses its critical and theatrical rebirth at the hands of a wide variety of modernists and postmodernists.
