Paperback, [EAN: 9780497902278], Icon Group Intl Inc, Icon Group Intl Inc, Book, [PU: Icon Group Intl Inc], Icon Group Intl Inc, One of Shakespeare's most haunting and enigmatic late plays, The Winter's Tale is a fine example of Shakespeare's fascination with the dramatic genre of "romance": the portrayal of magical lands, familial conflict and exile, and final reunion and reconciliation. Drawing on Robert Green's story Pandosto, Shakespeare play tells the story of the middle-aged Leontes, king of Sicilia, and his childhood friend Polixenes, the king of Bohemia. Leontes mistakenly believes that his friend is having an affair with his wife, Hermione. In his jealousy, and consumed by "tremor cordis", he tries to murder Polixenes, who flees, and accuses his wife of adultery. Hermione gives birth to a baby girl, Perdita, who Leontes denounces as illegitimate, and casts her out into the wilderness. Hermione is ultimately proved innocent, but her son, Mamillius, dies of grief. Hermione collapses, apparently dead, and Leontes is left to pick up the tragic consequences of his actions. Time passes, and the action moves to Bohemia, where the lost child Perdita has grown up a shepherdess in the midst of "great creating nature". The final scenes of the play draw towards resolution and reconciliation between Leontes, Hermione and their lost daughter, culminating in one of Shakespeare's most moving final scenes. One of Shakespeare's most consummate plays, The Winter's Tale is a fascinating study of male insecurity and the relations between art and nature. --Jerry Brotton., 2205888011, Custom Stores, 7187330011, Amazon Publishing, 16256501011, Audible Audiobooks, 13901671, Audiobooks, 14244971, Bargain Books, 13621591, Boxed Sets, 194725011, Canada Day Deals, 377366011, Christian Living Store, 263003011, For Dummies Store, 2354164011, Formats, 714830011, Kids & Family Store, 370821011, Qualifying Textbooks - Fall 2007, 1040638, Specialty Stores, 916520, Books, 940774, Internet & Education, 940768, Internet & Social Media, 939082, Computers & Technology, 927726, Subjects, 916520, Books, 952432, Chinese, 952410, Foreign Language Dictionaries & Thesauruses, 952688, Foreign Language Study & Reference, 952366, Education & Reference, 927726, Subjects, 916520, Books, 952696, Chinese, 952690, Instruction, 952688, Foreign Language Study & Reference, 952366, Education & Reference, 927726, Subjects, 916520, Books, 952996, Study & Teaching, 952956, Words, Language & Grammar, 952366, Education & Reference, 927726, Subjects, 916520, Books, 690363011, Chinese, 690362011, Foreign Languages, 15306041, Humanities, 15115321, Textbooks, 927726, Subjects, 916520, Books<
