The New Cambridge Shakespeare appeals to students worldwide for its
up-to-date scholarship and emphasis on performance. The series
features line-by-line commentaries and textual notes on the plays
and poems. Introductions are regularly refreshed with accounts of
new critical, stage and screen interpretations. This second edition
of Coriolanus, edited by Lee Bliss, provides a thorough
reconsideration of what was probably Shakespeare's last tragedy. In
the introduction, Bliss situates the play within its contemporary
social and political contexts and pays particular attention to
Shakespeare's manipulation of his primary source in Plutarch's
Lives. The edition is alert to the play's theatrical potential,
while the stage history also attends to the politics of performance
from the 1680s onwards, including European productions following
the Second World War. A new introductory section by Bridget Escolme
accounts for recent theatrical productions as well as scholarly
criticism of the last decade, with particular emphasis on gender
and politics.
