Inhaltsangabe

Coriolanus is a man afflicted by a tragic flaw: Hubris (Hybris), overweening pride. His thoughts are immediately expressed in his speech, never mind the setting or the audience. This, combined with his near total naivete, leads to his downfall, especially when confronted by the machinations of Brutus and Sicinius. Despite the wise advice given him by his mother, his wife, and his friend Menenius, he indulges himself by giving expression to his umbrage-deserved, no doubt but ill-advised nevertheless. He is the epitome of self-indulgent pride. Thus, he dooms himself through his own impulsive behavior, especially his speech.

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Donald Richardson OAM, a senior practicing artist and retired long-term educator in art, design and art history, has never been satisfied by historic writing in the field. In this book, he summarises and deconstructs key documents and marshals the clamouring desperation of many for redress and restitution. In the process, he proposes innovations for education and practice (in particular relating to perspective rendering and form). More generally, he proposes that the aesthetic be recognised as a sense of universal human relevance and value.
