Troilus and Cressida

"This edition of this problematic and fascinating play traces its theatrical history, drawing upon critical responses, photographic archives, promptbooks and video tapes of more recent productions to trace changes in production styles and emphases. Stage history is placed against a broader background of social change including shifting attitudes towards war, politics and sexual issues and the rise of feminism that has increased understanding of Cressida's actions in a wartime man's world." --Cover
