Book Synopsis
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.

Table of Contents
Introduction (Date, Romance and folktale, Tragedy and tragicomedy, The woman's part, Romans and Britons, Cymbeline on stage); The play; 'Hark, hark, the lark'; Textual analysis; Reading list.
