Fifteen Fictions for Summer re-release: Coriolanus
Manage episode 434891578 series 3469425
In the first episode of the summer daily re-release of our 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?
Tomorrow: Jonathan Swift’s Gulliver’s Travels
