Which plays are included under the heading ''Shakespeare''s last
來源：香港大書城megBookStore,http://www.megbook.com.hk plays'', and when does Shakespeare''s ''last'' period begin? What is
meant by a ''late play'', and what are the benefits in defining plays
in this way? Reflecting the recent growth of interest in late
studies, and recognising the gaps in accessible scholarship on this
area, leading international Shakespeare scholars address these and
many other questions. The essays locate Shakespeare''s last plays –
single and co-authored – in the period of their composition,
consider the significant characteristics of their Jacobean context,
and explore the rich afterlives, on stage, in print and other media
of The Winter''s Tale, Cymbeline, The Tempest, Pericles, The Two
Noble Kinsmen and Henry VIII. The volume opens with a historical
timeline that places the plays in the contexts of contemporary
political events, theatrical events, other cultural milestones,
Shakespeare''s life and that of his playing company, the King''s
Men.
