Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"The Two Noble Kinsmen" by William Shakespeare and John Fletcher is a Jacobean tragicomedy first performed in 1613–1614. Based on Chaucer's "The Knight's Tale," it tells the story of two inseparable cousins, Palamon and Arcite, whose deep friendship shatters when both fall in love with Princess Emilia from their prison window. Their devotion transforms into bitter rivalry, leading to escape, disguise, and a tournament where the victor wins Emilia's hand—while the loser faces execution.
