    Abstract:
    This essay discusses the early modern prologue as a register of authorial anxiety. Specifically, I analyse the unique case of the armed prologue as an authorial method and how the prologue of Shakespeare's Troilus and Cressida acts as a threshold into the theatrical. The prologue wearing armor prepares the audience for an ironic interpretation of tragedy and more nuanced criticisms of chivalry and masculinity.
