Excerpt from The Comedies, Histories, and Tragedies of Mr. William Shakespeare, as Presented at the Globe and Blackfriars Theatres, Circa 1591-1623: Being the Text Furnished the Players, in Parallel Pages With the First Revised Folio Text, With Critical Introductions<br/><br/>I am not color blind or style blind to the differ ence to the ear, the differences in the rhyme and metre of the different parts of the play. Mr. Walker goes so far, I believe, as to find not two but three different writers, Shakespeare, Rowley, and Wilkins, for the text. But the Gower parts seem to me not so very different in gait and tone from the Prologue's parts in the Henry V, and, I submit, it does not seem entirely inappropriate that the brothel scenes should be written in different cadences from the rest of the scenes. Panders and bawds do not, upon the stage at least, tread to the same measures as princes and courtiers and fine ladies. But it is not on any of these accounts that I am forced to call Pericles throughout a Shakespeare play.<br/><br/>About the Publisher<br/><br/>Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
