Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Unlock the more straightforward side of Coriolanus with this concise and insightful summary and analysis! This engaging summary presents an analysis of Coriolanus by William Shakespeare, a historical play set in the Roman Republic. The play centres on the titular character of Coriolanus, a well-respected general whose pride in his own military genius and aristocratic background has fostered in him a deep disdain for the common people. This pride leads to his downfall: when Coriolanus launches into an ill-considered tirade against the plebeians while running for consul, the crowd turns violently against him and he is exiled from Rome. Hell-bent on revenge, Coriolanus forms a temporary alliance with his former nemesis, the Volscian general Aufidius, and turns the full might of his fury towards the city he once called home.

Book excerpt: Review: "This book offers a stimulating new reading of Shakespeare's last tragedy. It situates the play within its own historical period and presents a lucid reappraisal of its representation of class conflict. One of the book's central arguments is that in adapting Plutarch's 'Life of Caius Martius Coriolanus' for the stage, Shakespeare smoothed out the radical political edges of his source, transforming its history of ruling-class oppression into a tragedy focused on the internal contradictions of aristocratic honour. The book also provides a re-evaluation of Volumnia's role in the play, arguing that she is depicted neither as a bad mother nor an unfeminine woman but as the embodiment of a Roman ideal of aristocratic motherhood. The final chapter examines the way this most political of Shakespeare's plays has been regularly revived and appropriated during periods of political crisis. Paying close attention to context, language, genre and dramatic structure, this lively study will appeal both to general and specialist readers."--BOOK JACKET
