Shakespeare, William, 1564-1616. Works.

Military expertise - and brilliance in the battlefield - does not always translate into success in politics. This maxim is on full display in "The Tragedy of Coriolanus," wherein General Coriolanus, fresh from a triumph against the enemies of Rome, is elevated to consul...but his contempt of the citizens (and the ire that it inspires from the people), leads him to flee the city and join with the enemy. A bloody, bold and thrilling addition to the Shakespearean canon, "Coriolanus" is presented here in its original and unabridged format
