Description
Section from Sir Thomas North's translation of Plutarch's Life of Coriolanus. The story of Coriolanus, a highly successful and infamous Roman aristocratic general. William Shakespeare took inspiration from Plutarch's account and incorporated them into his own play, Coriolanus. Scholars surmise that earlier editions of North's translations influenced Shakespeare's work.
