History of Ideas: Coriolanus
Manage episode 398611622 series 3469425
In the first episode of our new series on the great political fictions, David talks about Shakespeare’s Coriolanus (1608-9), the last of his tragedies and perhaps his most politically contentious play. Why has Coriolanus been subject to so many wildly different political interpretations? Is pride really the tragic flaw of the military monster at its heart? What does it say about the struggle between elite power and popular resistance and about the limits of political argument?
More from the LRB:
Colin Burrow on Ralph Fiennes as Coriolanus
Michael Wood on Coriolanus in the Hunger Games
