When the King of Britain Cymbeline discovers his daughter's secret marriage, he banishes her husband to Rome, who then accuses Innogen of being unfaithful. Innogen must evade deadly plots and homicidal jealousy to restore her name. Long recognised as a response to James VI and I's project to unite England and Scotland, the play conjures ancient British history at a moment when that history was eroding, revealed as a medieval invention. This sense of historical endings is entangled with \u003cem\u003eCymbeline\u003c\/em\u003e as a late play, and its numerous apparent callbacks across Shakespeare's career. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe New Oxford Shakespeare\u003c\/em\u003e offers authoritative editions of Shakespeare's works with introductory materials designed to encourage new interpretations of the plays and poems.
