In Cymbeline, Ancient Britain's female heir to the throne is
slandered by a decadent Italian while the Romans invade Britain to
retain it as part of their empire. Shakespeare's late romance is
full of unpredictable conjunctions that are explored in the
comprehensive introduction to this new, fully-illustrated Arden
edition. Valerie Wayne takes a transformative look at the play's
critical and performance history by examining its attention to
gender, calumny and sexuality together with nationhood, colonialism
and British identities. The authoritative play text is amply
annotated to clarify its language and allusions, and three
appendices delineate the play's textual history, its rich use of
music and its casting. Offering students and scholars alike a
wealth of insight and new research, this edition maintains the
rigorous standards of the Arden Shakespeare.
