Coriolanus - (Dover Thrift Editions: Plays) by William Shakespeare (Paperback)

This masterpiece of a play, Coriolanus, is a timeless tale of pride, revenge, and political chicanery that remains ever-relevant for modern readers and audiences.

Written in approximately 1608 by the great William Shakespeare, this highly political play tells the story of a military hero 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.

With its themes of pride, revenge, and political chicanery, this play is sure to captivate and entertain readers of all ages.
