The sixth and final volume in William Shakespeare. Collected Plays in a new translation by Niels Brunse. The seven plays in this volume date from the last period of Shakespeare's writing life and can be dated from around 1606 to 1613. Four of them are the "adventure plays" or "romantic comedies" - the genre terms are difficult and never quite accurate - that Shakespeare developed in these last years: Pericles, Cymbeline, The Winter's Tale and The Tempest; two of them return to the Roman material that had preoccupied Shakespeare earlier: Antony and Cleopatra and Coriolanus; and the last, Henry VIII, is a late addition to the line of Shakespeare's royal dramas, albeit in a new way, with the emphasis on the stories of those close to the king who are thwarted or fall from the pinnacle of power - Queen Katherine and Cardinal Wolsey. It is fairly certain that Shakespeare co-authored Pericles (George Wilkins) and Henry VIII (John Fletcher), but his own contribution to the texts is sufficiently large to count these two plays among the 37 'canonical' titles. Antony and Cleopatra has been performed once, at the Royal Theatre; The Tempest and The Winter's Tale have been used for several productions. All three have been thoroughly revised for this edition. The other four dramas are published here for the first time.
