ISBN: 052179255X ISBN-13: 9780521792554 Publisher: Cambridge University Press OUR PRICE: $139.65 Product Type: Hardcover - Other Formats Published: September 2005 Annotation: As social turmoil increased in England, audiences grew more in tune with Shakespeare's cynical undercutting of the Homeric tale of Greeks and Trojans, and less dismissive of his dark comedic treatment of the Medieval tale of Troilus and Cressida. This edition of his problematic play traces its theatrical history. It draws upon critical responses, photographic archives, promptbooks, and video tapes of more recent productions to reveal changes in production styles and emphasis, against a broader background of social change. |
