Description:Excerpt from The Dramatic Works of William Shakespeare, Vol. 4 of 10: The Winter's Tale; Pericles Prince of Tyre; King John; King Richard IIHorace Walpole in his Historic Doubts attempts to show that The Winter's Tale was intended (in compliment to Queen Eliza beth) as an indirect apology for her mother Anne Boleyn; but the ground for his conjecture is so slight as scarcely to deserve attention. Indeed it may be answered that the plot of the play is not the invention of Shakespeare, who therefore cannot be charged with this piece of flattery; if it was intended, it must be attributed to Greene, whose novel was published in 1588. I think with Mr. Boswell that these supposed allusions by Shake Speare to the history of his own time are very much to be doubted.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
