Troilus and Cressida: A Critical Reader
The Arden Shakespeare (Verlag)
978-1-350-01419-0 (ISBN)
Moving through to four new critical essays, the guide opens up fresh perspectives on the play’s iconoclastic nature and its key themes, ranging from issues of gender and sexuality to Elizabethan politics, from the uses of antiquity to questions of cultural translation, with particular attention paid on Troilus’ “Greekness”.
The volume finishes with a helpful guide to critical and web-based resources. Discussing the ways in which this challenging and acerbic play can be brought to life in the classroom, it suggests performance-based strategies, designed to engage with the dramaturgical and theatrical dimensions of the text; close-reading exercises with an emphasis on rhetoric, metaphor and the practice of “troping”; and a series of tools designed to situate the play in a range of contexts, including its classical and critical frameworks.
Efterpi Mitsi is Associate Professor in English Literature and Culture at the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens, Greece.
