About the book

William Shakespeare's Coriolanus is a Roman tragedy centred on the brilliant but proud soldier Caius Marcius, later given the name Coriolanus after a major military victory. His contempt for the common people and refusal to flatter them destroy his political career, eventually driving him into alliance with Rome's enemies. The play explores pride, class conflict, political manipulation and the uneasy relationship between military honour and democratic government.
