... about Troilus and Cres-
sida we do not know, though it is possible that the seeming scarcity
of early performances may owe something to the play’s troubling

But now our wishes by the Fates are crost;
We’ve gain’d a Thersite, and an Helen lost:
The envious planet has deceiv’d our hope ;
We’ve lost a St. Leger, and gain’d a Pope.7
In thus turning up the texts in which a murder charge was spelled
out, Courthope revealed...

... “bitter plays,” Shakespeare seems to have felt
the need for a commentator who could, like Lear, criticize a mad

Such is the railing buffoon Thersites in Troilus...

... of Mirabell. Although
Vickers calls Troilus and Cressidu a tragicomedy, he apparently ac-
