NB: Orders that include this product may take up to one month to ship, based on availability.

A revised edition of this intriguing and complex play, updated to cover recent critical thinking and stage history. Troilus and Cressida is a tragedy that is 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 wartime and a stage peopled by generally unsympathetic characters. The revised edition makes an ideal text for study at undergraduate level and above.
