| Description |
'Cymbeline' is a drama which is as romantic as any of the great poet, and the progress of its story is watched with the greatest interest. It does not abound so much as some plays in phrases which have become household words, but its dialogue is for the most part used simply for the purpose of explaining and developing the plot. |
