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"-- $c Provided by publisher. 520 $a "Troilus and Cressida, long considered one of Shakespeare's most problematic plays, is both difficult and fascinating. Largely neglected during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, it has recently proved popular and rewarding on the stage as well as in the study. This edition questions certain received ideas about the play's text, especially the relationship between Quarto and Folio, and offers several new readings of old problems"-- $c Provided by publisher. 600 10 $a Shakespeare, William, $d 1564-1616. $t Troilus and Cressida. 611 27 $a Trojan War. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01157294 630 07 $a Troilus and Cressida (Shakespeare, William) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01356953 600 17 $a Shakespeare, William $d 1564-1616 $t Troilus and Cressida $2 gnd 650 0 $a Troilus (Legendary character) $v Drama. 650 0 $a Cressida (Fictitious character) $v Drama. 650 0 $a Trojan War $v Drama. 651 0 $a Troy (Extinct city) $v Drama. 650 7 $a LITERARY COLLECTIONS $x General. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a Cressida (Fictitious character) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00882862 650 7 $a Troilus (Legendary character) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01157292 651 7 $a Turkey $z Troy (Extinct city) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01896842 655 7 $a Drama. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423879 700 1 $a Dawson, Anthony B., $e editor. 700 1 $a Minton, Gretchen E., $d 1970- $e writer of introduction. 800 1 $a Shakespeare, William, $d 1564-1616. $t Works. $f 1984. $s Cambridge University Press. 941 $a 2 952 $l LAPH975 $d 20200529021136.0 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191214020208.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=6DEE25BE580511E8A8F83C5097128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
