When Posthumus is tricked into believing that Imogen has been unfaithful, love gives way to suspicion, exile, disguise, danger, and near-tragedy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSet in ancient Britain under the shadow of Rome, the play blends court intrigue, marital trial, political conflict, pastoral escape, lost children, mistaken identity, and miraculous reunion. Shakespeare moves freely between tragedy, comedy, romance, and history, creating a work in which poison becomes sleep, banishment leads to discovery, and broken loyalties are repaired through recognition and forgiveness. Imogen stands at the center of the drama as one of Shakespeare's most steadfast heroines, navigating betrayal, danger, and grief with courage and intelligence.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFirst printed in the 1623 First Folio, \u003cem\u003eCymbeline\u003c\/em\u003e belongs to Shakespeare's late period, alongside plays such as \u003cem\u003eThe Winter's Tale\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003ePericles\u003c\/em\u003e, and \u003cem\u003eThe Tempest\u003c\/em\u003e. Its mixture of emotional suffering, improbable plotting, reconciliation, and wonder makes it a fascinating work for readers interested in Shakespearean romance, tragicomedy, British legend, royal politics, and the plays in which Shakespeare pushed beyond familiar dramatic categories.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 134\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.44 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e April 03, 2018\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45176005722135,"sku":"9781515425120","price":41.18,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0796\/2096\/4375\/files\/C4Xv0XfYvM9781515425120.webp?v=1781315319","url":"https:\/\/thestagedoorexchange.com\/products\/cymbeline-hardcover","provider":"The Stage Door Exchange","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
