Healing Nature: The Athens of Pericles (Oxford Theatre Texts)

Warner has shown once more he is a masterful poet and dramatist.... His best work to date. The action centres round Pericles...as he creates `an Athens all the world will imitate', only to see the tide of fortune turn and the empire fall into decay...It is a compelling play which combines...grand, heroic drama...with moments of exquisitely delicate lyric poetry and unexpected dashes of humor-The Stage.
