Description

These articles, reprinted from various volumes of Shakespeare Survey, concern three plays which have gradually become appreciated by critics and in the theatre.

Since the early years of this century they have been seen as an interrelated group, with a peculiarly twentieth-century appeal.

Measure for Measure, concerned as it is with adolescents' first encounters with sex, love and death, has a special appeal for young people; Troilus and Cressida, set in the Trojan War, has been found deeply relevant to our own war-troubled times; and All's Well That Ends Well, sharing these preoccupations, is a necessary companion piece.

John Barton, who has directed all three plays, is interviewed in one of the articles, which together illustrate the often heated controversy about the plays.

Reviews and photographs of post-war productions at Stratford are also included.

The book as a whole is designed as a stimulating introduction to these plays and to conflicting interpretations of them.
