Lädt ... Coriolanusvon William Shakespeare
  
Keine aktuelle Diskussion zu diesem Buch. Who knew Coriolanus was so funny and weird and great? I mean, I know it's a tragedy. But the funny parts really got me. Volumnia rocks. Major plot twist with Aufidius had us screaming as we read aloud. Must get my hands on the new Pelican edition with the corn cover art. (  ) misslevel | Sep 22, 2021 |  Maybe it's my frame of mind, maybe it was the day, I don't know. But I started listening to this one and just could not get into it whatsoever. It's the first Shakespeare I couldn't finish.

No seriously it does - I ws just as surprised as you. When I saw the play performed for the first time (the broadcast of the Donmar Warehouse 2014 production) I didn't pick up the hints, but in reading the play there's defrinitely some bromance (if not actual gay love) going on. Coriolanus doesn't say much on the matter - he has a child and seems to be into his wife - but Tullus Aufidius' affection for Coriolanus' soldierly abilities seems to toe the line of actual physical love. And then there's Menenius - a slightly doddering but sweet-talking politician who seems to play into the stereotype of the old gay effete. Who knows if Shakespeare ever intended this type of reading, but he is writing about Ancient Rome, where homosexuality was more accepted. Or maybe our minds are all in the gutter (haha).

"This generously annotated updated edition of Coriolanus provides a thorough reconsideration of Shakespeare's remarkable, and probably his last, tragedy. A substantial introduction situates the play within its contemporary social and political contexts - dearth, riots, the struggle over authority between James I and his first parliament, the travails of Essex and Ralegh - and pays particular attention to Shakespeare's shaping of his primary source in Plutarch's Lives. It presents a fresh account of how the protagonist's personal tragedy evolves within Shakespeare's most searching exploration of the political life of a community. The edition is alert throughout to the play's theatrical potential, while the stage history also attends to the politics of performance from the 1680s onwards, including European productions following the Second World War. A new introductory section by Bridget Escolme covers recent productions of Coriolanus, and criticism of the last ten years, with particular focus on gender and the play's politics"--Provided by publisher.
