Coriolanus is a tragedy by William Shakespeare, written between 1605 and 1608. The play is based on the life of the legendary Roman leader, Gaius Marcius Coriolanus. Although a lesser known work than his other plays, it was famously praised by the poet T.S. Eliot as being superior to Hamlet.This version has been optimized for readability on the Kindle and includes:FULLY FEATURED TABLE OF CONTENTSThe full TOC appears at the beginning of the book and can be accessed through the MENU button.CHAPTER JUMP WITH 5-WAY CONTROLLERJump quickly to the previous or next scene by pressing the left or right button on the 5-way controller.BEAUTIFUL FORMATTINGProper paragraph spacing and headings makes it easy to know who is speaking.Latus ePublishing sets out to be the leader in e-book Publishing, delivering beautifully set formatting and user-friendly navigation.
Reviews
This is one of Shakespeare's most powerful, and state of the art plays, yet it is still inadequately known and performed. His haunting portrayal of a charismatic political outsider, a man riven by a river of self-hatreds and insecurities and just as contemptuous of the mob as he is of the political elite who use him for their own purposes, is just as relevant today as in the 16th century, in the shadow of Essex. The book's introduction, by Jonathan Crewe is first rate in understanding both the play and the character of Coriolanus, and I recommend this play for anyone wishing to get his or her feet wet in learning about Shakespeare's tragedies.
