  Troilus and Cressida - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The History of Troilus and Cressida is a play by William Shakespeare, believed to have been written around 1602, shortly after the completion of Hamlet.
In one Troilus, a Trojan prince, woos Cressida, has sex with her, and professes never-dying love just before she is traded with the Greeks for a prisoner of war.
The story of Troilus and Cressida is a medieval fable that has no basis in Greek mythology; Shakespeare drew on a number of sources for this plotline, in particular Chaucer's version of the tale, Troilus and Criseyde.

Troilus and Cressida begins Shakespeare's chronicle of Western civilization; it takes as its source the story of the siege of Troy, in which the secular beginning of Western literature is found.
Yet while Troilus and Cressida is Shakespeare's recounting of the events of the Trojan War, for a reader whose knowledge of that legendary struggle has been shaped by the Iliad of Homer, it is a strangely enigmatic play.
The love affair of Troilus and Cressida, which is played out among the scenes of battle and debate concerning Helen of Troy, is a microcosm of the larger conflict that rages between Greek and Trojan.

 Troilus Criseyde Essays - Troilus and Cressida
Assessing the sources of Troilus and Cressida, it is usual to separate them according to their specific historical or literary influence.
The Trojan camp and Greek camp in Troilus and Cressida are both marked and marred by bitter factionalism, but despite the British sympathy for the Trojans, it is in the opposing Greek camp that the politics of the English court are most readily seen to be at work.
The "love story" between Troilus and Cressida, drawn from Chaucer, also bitterly satirizes the chivalric code of Chaucer's romance, as Shakespeare, sickened by the self-mythologizing of the court, attempts to topple another of his age's grand cultural narratives.

 William Shakespeare - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In addition, Shakespeare is the most quoted writer in the literature and history of the English-speaking world.
Some of Shakespeare's plays first appeared in print as a series of quartos, but most remained unpublished until 1623 when the posthumous First Folio was published by two actors who had been in Shakespeare's company: John Heminges and Henry Condell.
Some of these claims necessarily rely on conspiracy theories to explain the lack of direct historical evidence for them, although their advocates also point to evidentiary gaps in the orthodox history.

The Greeks are strong, and skilful to their strength, Fierce to their skill, and to their fierceness valiant; But I am weaker than a woman's tear, Tamer than sleep, fonder than ignorance, Less valiant than the virgin in the night, And skilless as unpractis'd infancy.
But, for my part, she is my kinswoman; I would not, as they term it, praise her, but I would somebody had heard her talk yesterday, as I did.

This edition is the first to offer a detailed account of the theatrical treatment of Troilus and Cressida on the British and North American stages from its first revivals at the beginning of the twentieth century to the present.
This edition of this problematic and fascinating play traces its theatrical history, drawing upon critical responses, photographic archives, promptbooks, and video tapes of more recent productions to trace changes in production styles and emphases.
Stage history is placed against a broader background of social change including shifting attitudes towards war, politics, sexual issues, and the rise of feminism that has increased understanding of Cressida's actions in a wartime man's world.
