A revised edition of this fascinating and complex piece, updated to reflect recent critical considerations and theater history. Troilus and Cressida is a tragedy often referred to as a "problem play" due to its apparent genre blending and challenging themes. Set during the Trojan War, it tells a story of cursed love and honor, offering a bleak view of human nature in war and a stage populated by predominantly unsympathetic characters. The revised edition is ideal as study material at the undergraduate level and beyond.
