Inspired by Homer's Iliad and Chaucer's Troilus and Criseyde,
Shakespeare's play explores heroism, love and betrayal against the
backdrop of the Trojan War. This Penguin Shakespeare edition is
edited by R. A. Foakes with an introduction by Colin Burrow.
'Lechery, still wars and lechery; nothing else holds fashion' It is
the seventh year of the Trojan War. The Greek army is camped
outside Troy and Achilles - their military hero - refuses to fight.
Inside the city Troilus, the Trojan King's son, falls in love with
Cressida, whose father has defected to the Greek camp. In an
exchange of prisoners the couple are split - they believe forever.
The honour of lovers and soldiers is tested as a fierce battle
begins and heroes must prove their worth. 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.
