The Arden Shakespeare Arden Shakespeare. UNAUTHORIZED

Summary |
'Coriolanus' was first published in the First Folio of 1623; we have no recording of a first performance contemporary with Shakespeare. As a result, dating the play has proven to be a difficult task, with most modern critics placing the writing of the play in the second half of the 1610s. Affording 'Coriolanus' a genre is similarly tricky: it is 'The Tragedy of Coriolanus' in the First Folio, but it is deeply indebted to the sub-genre of 'Roman plays' that form a significant part of the Shakespearean oeuvre. |
