Troilus and Cressida

A revised edition of this intriguing and complex play updated to cover recent critical thinking and stage history. <i>Troilus and Cressida</i> is a tragedy often labelled a problem play because of its apparent blend of genres and its difficult themes. Set in the Trojan Wars it tells a story of doomed love and honour offering a debased view of human nature in war-time and a stage peopled by generally unsympathetic characters. The revised edition makes an ideal text for study at undergraduate level and above.
