Inhaltsangabe

This new edition of Shakespeare's Cymbeline foregrounds the elements of romance, tragicomedy and Jacobean stagecraft which together shape the play; it also acknowledges the postmodern indeterminacy of the play's key moments. Martin Butler presents a refreshingly unsentimental reading of the heroine, Innogen.
