Cymbeline

About this book

William Shakespeare's Cymbeline is a richly textured late romance that entwines royal intrigue, jealousies, and the turbulent passions of love against a backdrop of mythic Britain. When Imogen—loyal, resourceful, and unfairly suspected—finds her fidelity challenged by a treacherous wager and a court of dangerous ambitions, the action spills from palace corridors into woodlands and battlefields where disguise, mistaken identity, and startling coincidences propel the drama. Full of lyricism, sudden reversals, and a bewildering blend of tragedy and comedy, Cymbeline becomes a haunting meditation on innocence, authority, and the strange alchemy of fate.
