«Troilus and Cressida» is the play by William Shakespeare, published by Wordsworth Editions Ltd in paperback (100 pages, in English).
Set during the siege of Troy, the play weaves the romance between Troilus and Cressida with the corruption of heroic ideals: romantic infidelity is mirrored in the political intrigues that drag the city towards its downfall, in a cynical vision of honour, war and love.
Complete and unabridged edition in the Wordsworth Classics collection, published by Wordsworth Editions Ltd in 1993.
Recommended for readers of classical theatre and for those approaching Shakespeare's work.
William Shakespeare was an English playwright, poet and actor. He is widely regarded as the greatest writer in the English language and the world's pre-eminent dramatist. He is often called England's national poet and the "Bard of Avon" or simply "the Bard". His extant works, including collaborations, consist of some 39 plays, 154 sonnets, 3 long narrative poems and a few other verses, some of uncertain authorship. His plays have been translated into every major living language and are performed more often than those of any other playwright. Shakespeare remains arguably the most influential writer in the English language, and his works continue to be studied and reinterpreted.
