«The Winter's Tale» is a romantic comedy by William Shakespeare, published by Wordsworth Editions in paperback (160 pages, in English).
Shakespeare's romantic comedy blending tragic and violent events with love speeches, farcical comedy and pastoral songs. The murderous jealousy of Leontes, king of Sicily, and the idyll between Perdita and Florizel embody the contrasts between age and youth, corruption and innocence, decay and regeneration.
Revised edition from the Wordsworth Classics collection, with introduction and notes by Cedric Watts. The play was originally published in 1623.
For students of English literature and readers wishing to discover Shakespeare's theatre in its original language.
William Shakespeare was an English playwright, poet and actor. He is widely regarded as the greatest writer in the English language and the world's pre-eminent dramatist. He is often called England's national poet and the "Bard of Avon" or simply "the Bard". His extant works, including collaborations, consist of some 39 plays, 154 sonnets, 3 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. Shakespeare remains arguably the most influential writer in the English language, and his works continue to be studied and reinterpreted.
