One of the Bard’s final tragedies, this is the story of an Ancient Roman soldier whose political machinations and military might gain him heroic status, but ultimately lead to his assassination.

• An overview of Shakespeare's life, world, and theater
• A special introduction to the play by the editor, Reuben Brower
• Selections from Plutarch's Lives of Noble Grecians and Romans, the source from which Shakespeare derived Coriolanus

• A comprehensive stage and screen history of notable actors, directors, and productions
• Text, notes, and commentaries printed in the clearest, most readable text

Informazioni sull?autore: William Shakespeare (1564–1616) was a poet, playwright, and actor who is widely regarded as one of the most influential writers in the history of the English language. Often referred to as the Bard of Avon, Shakespeare's vast body of work includes comedic, tragic, and historical plays; poems; and 154 sonnets. His dramatic works have been translated into every major language and are performed more often than those of any other playwright.
