The New Cambridge Shakespeare appeals to students worldwide for its
up-to-date scholarship and emphasis on performance. The series
features line-by-line commentaries and textual notes on the plays
and poems. Introductions are regularly refreshed with accounts of
new critical, stage and screen interpretations. This second edition
of Troilus and Cressida, a play that has long been considered
difficult but is now popular both on the stage and in criticism,
features an expanded and updated introduction and reading list. The
first edition has been praised for its careful rethinking of the
text, excellent annotation, lively attention to performance and
extensive coverage of the play's major concerns. This updated
edition retains these characteristics. In addition, Gretchen Minton
and Anthony B. Dawson have provided a new account of the critical
and theatrical treatment of Troilus and Cressida over the last
fifteen years, showing how modern audiences have become attuned to
the play's sardonic undercutting of both the medieval romance of
the title characters and the Homeric tale of the Trojan War. Recent
performance history is placed against a broader background of
social change, including shifting attitudes towards war, political
decision-making, gender politics, and fear of disease and
contagion.
