One of Shakespeare's late, fantastical plays, Cymbeline considers
human love and art through the thrilling wonder of the Renaissance
theatre. This Penguin Shakespeare edition is edited with an
introduction by John Pitcher. 'Fear no more the heat o' the sun,
Nor the furious winter's rages' The King of Britain, enraged by his
daughter's disobedience in marrying against his wishes, banishes
his new son-in-law. Having fled to Rome, the exiled husband makes a
foolish wager with a villain he encounters there - gambling on the
fidelity of his abandoned wife. Combining courtly menace and
horror, comedy and melodrama,Cymbeline is a moving depiction of two
young lovers driven apart by deceit and self-doubt. This book
contains a general introduction to Shakespeare's life and
Elizabethan theatre, a separate introduction to the play, a
chronology, suggestions for further reading, an essay discussing
performance options on both stage and screen, and a commentary.
