Troilus and Cressida [by] William Shakespeare : notes

More about the book

Written soon after 'Hamlet', Shakespeare's tragic and comic dramatization of the Trojan War endures in one of his most intriguing plays. Apparently little performed between the Augustan Age and our own time, it is only now that Shakespeare's portrayal of the snares of young love set against a backdrop of a senseless and endless war has been appreciated fully for the beauty of its verse and the profundity of its themes.
