Coriolanus (Paperback, New edition)

A highly political play, "Coriolanus concerns a military hero of ancient Rome who attempts to shift from his career as a general to become a candidate for public office--a disastrous move that leads to his collaborating with the enemy and heading an attack on Rome. Despite his battlefield confidence and accomplishments, Coriolanus proves psychologically ill-suited as a candidate for the office of consul and makes an easy scapegoat for the restless citizenry and his political opponents. The last of Shakespeare's tragedies, "Coriolanus was written in approximately 1608 and derived from Plutarch's "Lives of the Noble Grecians and Romans. A timeless tale of pride, revenge, and political chicanery, it remains ever-relevant for modern readers and audiences.
