Given the wealth of formal debate contained in this tragedy,
Troilus and Cressida was probably written in 1602 for a performance
at one of the Inns of the Court. Shakespeare's treatment of the
age-old tale of love and betrayal is based on many sources, from
Homer and Ovid to Chaucer and Shakespeare's near contemporary
Robert Greene. In the introduction the various problems connected
with the play, its performance, and publication, are considered
succinctly; its multiple sources are discussed in detail, together
with its peculiar stage history and its renewed popularity in
recent years.
