Coriolanus (Annotated Edition)

A tragedy of pride, politics, and betrayal — Shakespeare’s Coriolanus explores the rise and fall of a Roman general undone by his arrogance and contempt for the people. This annotated edition makes the play vivid and accessible with What’s Just Happened recaps after every scene, Context Snacks on Roman history, republican politics, and performance, plus detailed analysis after the text. Character portraits (Coriolanus, Volumnia, Aufidius, Menenius), unpacked themes (pride, power, loyalty, class, politics), and key quotes with commentary are paired with critical perspectives, making this edition valuable for students, teachers, performers, and general readers.
