See also:WILKINS, See also:GEORGE (ii. 1607) , See also:English playwright and pamphleteer, is first mentioned as the author of a pamphlet on the Three Miseries of See also:Barbary, which probably See also:dates from 1604. He was associated with the See also:- KING
- KING (O. Eng. cyning, abbreviated into cyng, cing; cf. O. H. G. chun- kuning, chun- kunig, M.H.G. kiinic, kiinec, kiinc, Mod. Ger. Konig, O. Norse konungr, kongr, Swed. konung, kung)

William See also:Rowley and See also:John See also:Day in The Travailes of the Three English See also:Brothers. In the same See also:year a See also:play was produced which was apparently entirely Wilkins's See also:work. It is The Miseries of Inforst Mariage, and treats the See also:story of See also:Walter See also:Calverley, whose identity is thinly veiled under the name of " See also:Scarborough." This See also:man had killed his two See also:children and had attempted to See also:murder his wife. The play had originally a tragic ending, but as played in 1607 ended in See also:comedy, and the story stopped See also:short before the See also:catastrophe, perhaps because of objections raised by Mrs Calverley's See also:family, the Cobhams. The See also:crime itself is dealt with in A See also:Yorkshire Tragedy, which was originally performed with three other plays under the See also:title of All's One. It was entered on the Stationers' See also:Register in 16o8 as " written by William Shakespeare," published with the same ascription in that year, and reprinted in 1619 without See also:contradiction of the statement.

Lee assigns to George Wilkins a See also:share in Shakespeare's See also:Pericles and possibly in See also:Timon of See also:Athens. See also:Delius conjectured that Wilkins was the See also:original author of Pericles and that Shakespeare re-modelled it. However that may be, Wilkins published in 16o8 a novel entitled The Painfull Adventures of Pericles, Prynce of See also:Tyre, being the true See also:history of Pericles as it was lately presented by . . . John See also:Gower, which sometimes follows the play very closely.
Mr Fleay (Biog. Chron. of the See also:Drama) says that the See also:external See also:evidence for the Shakespearian authorship of the Yorkshire Tragedy cannot be impugned, and in the See also:absence of other authorship cannot be lightly set aside, but he does not abandon the See also:hope of establishing a contrary See also:opinion. Both Mr Fleay and See also:Professor A. W. See also:- WARD

Ward (Eng. Dram. Lit. ii. p. 182) seem to think that the story of Marina in Pericles was a See also:complete original play by Shakespeare, and that the remodelling story should be reversed. i.e. that Pericles is a Shakespearian play remodelled by a playwright, possibly Wilkins. Mr Lee (See also:Diet. Nat. Biog., See also:Art. " Wilkins ") says the Yorkshire Tragedy was " fraudulently " assigned to Shakespeare by See also:- THOMAS
