Coriolanus : A Facsimile of the First Folio Text.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'Coriolanus' is one of William Shakespeare's most searing and political tragedies, exploring the volatile intersection of military glory and civil governance. Based on the life of the legendary Roman leader Caius Marcius Coriolanus, the play depicts his transition from a celebrated war hero to a polarizing political figure. Driven by an uncompromising pride and a deep-seated contempt for the common people, Coriolanus finds himself caught between his duty to Rome and his personal integrity, eventually leading to his exile and a fateful alliance with his former enemies.This edition provides a facsimile of the text as it appeared in the First Folio of 1623, offering readers and scholars a direct look at the play's earliest printed form, complete with its original punctuation and orthography. Through its intense character studies and sharp political insight, 'Coriolanus' remains a powerful examination of the dangers of hubris and the complexities of the democratic process. It stands as a testament to Shakespeare's mastery of the tragic form, blending historical narrative with profound psychological depth and timeless themes of power and betrayal.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
