Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Skeele then looks at stage production of the play during the greater part of the twentieth century, contrasting two trends in Pericles production: the spectacular approach (a la Phelps) and the spare, stripped-down treatments initially inspired by Poel and Granville-Barker's rebellions against Victorian excess. Finally, Skeele blends critical and production history, examining Pericles in light of recent trends in poststructuralist criticism and postmodern staging.
