This is the first new, full-scale edition of Cymbeline in 37 years.

One of Shakespeare's final works, Cymbeline uses virtuoso theatrical and poetic means to dramatize a story of marriage imperiled by mistrust and painfully rebuilt in the context of international conflict.

Roger Warren's commentary emphasizes the play's theatrical impact and pays close attention to its complex, evocative language.
