About the book

William Shakespeare's Troilus and Cressida is set during the Trojan War and centres on the doomed love affair between the Trojan prince Troilus and Cressida. Their romance unfolds against a world of military rivalry, political calculation and fading heroic ideals. Rather than presenting war as noble and glorious, Shakespeare offers a darker and more cynical vision in which pride, appetite and self-interest dominate. The play explores love, honour, betrayal and the gap between heroic reputation and human weakness.
