Shakespeare's History of Troilus and Cressida is a play written by William Shakespeare in the late 16th century. The play is set during the Trojan War and follows the tragic love story of Troilus, a Trojan prince, and Cressida, a Trojan woman who is given to the Greeks as part of a prisoner exchange. The play explores themes of love, betrayal, and the corrupt nature of politics and war. It is considered one of Shakespeare's more complex works, as it blends elements of both tragedy and comedy. This edition of the play was published in 1891 and includes annotations and commentary by the editor.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
