Excerpt from The Works of William Shakespeare, Vol. 9 of 9: Edited by William Aldis Wright<br/><br/>The play of Pericles was not included in either the first or the second Folio. It was however reprinted, together with other plays wrongly attributed to Shakespeare, in the Folio of 1664 and in that of 1685. The text of the third Folio is taken from that of the sixth Quarto, but with a considerable number of conjectural alterations.<br/><br/>A duodecimo reprint of Pericles, taken from the fourth Folio, appeared in 1734.<br/><br/>About the Publisher<br/><br/>Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
