alrowell reviewed Tyrant by Stephen Greenblatt
Review of 'Tyrant' on 'Goodreads'
5 stars
“Not so with Coriolanus: here we are dealing instead with an overgrown child’s narcissism, insecurity, cruelty, and folly, all unchecked by any adult’s supervision and restraint.” There seems to a subtext throughout Greenblatt’s Tyrant: Shakespeare on Politics, but I can’t quite put my finger on it.
