Opis

Perhaps the most brilliant political play ever written, Coriolanus is a gripping psychological study of the relationship between personality and politics, and its Roman hero one of the most memorable Shakespeare ever created. The introduction to this new edition offers the first full stage history and analysis of the original production of Coriolanus at the Blackfriars theater, and also examines Shakespeare's adaptation of his historical material while emphasizing the wide range of interpretations that are possible in performance.

Recenzje

it is odd that recent upmarket, single-play editions have been so rare ... The Oxford Shakespeare text edited by Brian Parker thus comes not a minute too soon. In addition to the best in contemporary editorial practice and contemporary scholarship, it offers as stage-sensitive an approach to a Shakespeare play as any edition to date. This edition, scholarly without being pedantic, timely rather than trendy, and as frankly theatrical as it is literary, will be consulted with pleasure and profit by university students, specialists in the early modern period, theater artists, and the general reader.
