The main plot of The Winter's Tale is taken from Robert Greene's pastoral romance Pandosto, published in 1590. Shakespeare's changes to the plot are uncharacteristically slight, especially in light of the romance's undramatic nature, and Shakespeare's fidelity to it gives The Winter's Tale its most distinctive feature: the sixteen-year gap between the third and fourth acts.
Note : "Changes to plot are SLIGHT" ergo, play is a romance

The Winter's Tale is a play by William Shakespeare, first published in the First Folio in 1623. Although it was listed as a comedy when it first appeared, some modern editors have relabeled the play a romance.
Some, not all. Majority of experts say otherwise. No link. Objection failing badly atm. |

I think the author gets to categorise his own play.... |

Objection - The Winter's Tale isn't a comedy.
It's either a tragi-comedy or a romance.
Do you have a seconder? I will then consider it with an open mind, then penalise you F**K of the two of you. Alex I would have backed you on the Hilton if I was in that game. Tragi-comedy is still a comedy IMO. Oh that old chestnut "I would have helped honest guv" |

And Shakespeare is modern GTFO! The geezer has been dead for a couple of hundred year, next you'll be telling me Baz Lurmans take on R & J was better than the original. [/size] |
