This volume presents Robert Greene's "Pandosto," also known as "Dorastus and Fawnia," a narrative recognized as the primary source of inspiration for William Shakespeare's play, "The Winter's Tale." Edited by P.G. Thomas, this edition offers readers a chance to explore the original tale that captivated audiences and influenced one of Shakespeare's later works.
"Pandosto" showcases Greene's storytelling prowess and offers insight into the literary landscape of the late 16th century. By examining this work, readers can gain a deeper understanding of the themes, characters, and plot elements that Shakespeare adapted and transformed in his own dramatic masterpiece. This edition is invaluable for scholars, students, and anyone interested in the origins of "The Winter's Tale" and the creative process behind Shakespeare's enduring plays.
