Description
Coriolanus, one of Shakespeare's last tragedies, explores the complexities of power, politics and the human condition. The play tells the story of a proud and ambitious general, who, driven by his own sense of justice, becomes increasingly isolated from the people he once sought to protect.
This edition features a comprehensive introduction and commentary notes, providing a rich understanding of the play's language, themes and ideas. Peter Holland's expert analysis offers a nuanced exploration of the play's historical and critical contexts, as well as its theatrical history.
With its complex characters and thought-provoking themes, Coriolanus is a deeply rewarding play that continues to engage audiences today.
