Excerpt from Cymbeline: With an Introduction and Notes
The story of Imogen, with that of the sons of Gym Source beline, was taken more or less directly from 'boccacio's piot' Decamerone while for that portion which relates to the tribute to be paid to Rome, Shakespeare derived his materials from Holinshed, according to whom the demand was made during the reign of Augustus, a few years before the beginning of the Christian era. But beyond the bare outlines of these portions of the play, everything else, the characters, dialogue, circum stances, details, descriptions, - the lively interest of the plot, its artful involution and skilful development, are entirely his [shakespeare's] own.
