Reviews

A rich treasure trove not only for the undergraduate student, providing basic information on Troilus and Cressida, but proves equally inspiring for instructors and scholars ... An inspiring mixture of informative and original scholarship. * Cahiers Elisabethains * Troilus and Cressida: A Critical Reader is a brilliant reassessment of the play's widely divergent meanings and contexts, including selected Greek appropriations. Highly recommended for scholars in Shakespearean and classical studies. -- Professor Jyotsna Singh, Michigan State University, USA This much-needed collection shows how a play that was less than popular with earlier generations can prove fascinating for present-day audiences - taught by recent history to recognise the contradictions in tales of war, self and community. -- Rui Carvalho Homem, University of Porto, Portugal
