This volume offers the most comprehensive and critically up-to-date
edition of Troilus and Cressida available today. Bevingtonas
learned and engaging introduction discusses the ambivalent status
and genre of the play, variously presented in its early printing as
a comedy, a history and a tragedy. He examines and assimilates the
wide variety of critical responses the play has elicited, and
argues its importance in todayas culture as an experimental and
open-ended work. He also, however, suggests that this
experimentalism may have contributed to its lack of immediate stage
success, and goes on to place the work in its late Elizabethan
context of political instability and theatrical rivalry. A thorough
performance history focuses chiefly on recent productions. The
complex text situation is re-examined and the differing textual
readings carefully explicated. 'Bevington's edition is so clearly
the best now available that it will no doubt quickly become
standard practice for all study of this remarkable play to begin
with this remarkable edition.' Eric Rasmussen, University of Nevada
at Reno, Shakespeare Survey
