 Introduction

In 1607, William Shakespeare collaborated with George Wilkins to write Pericles which “made its initial impact in the first five months of 1608 [and] was a great success [which was] divers and sundry times acted by his Majesty’s Servants and the Globe on the Bankside” (Warren, 2003, p. 1).
       Unfortunately, its popularity was short-lived. Nevertheless, Pericles received a substantial amount of criticism concerning its protagonist, authorship issues, genre categorisation, composition date, narrative sources and origins, plot structure, themes, and images.
