Jean Baptiste Camille Corot was French painter and draftsman. Of the painters classed in the Barbizon school it is probable that Corot will live the longest; and will continue to occupy the highest position. In his first style he painted traditionally and ldquo;tightrdquo; mdash; that is to say; with minute exactness; clear outlines; and with absolute definition of objects throughout. After his fiftieth year his methods changed to breadth of tone and an approach to poetic power; and from 1865 onwards; his manner of painting became full of ldquo;mysteryrdquo; and poetry. In artistic circles of Paris he was acknowledged as one of the five or six greatest landscape painters the world has ever seen; along with Hobbema; Claude; Turner and Constable. Besides landscapes; of which he painted several hundred; Corot produced a number of figure pictures which are much prized but he executed a few etchings and pencil sketches.

It is simply the text; no additions; with a biography of Shakespeare tacked onto the end. Also; in the "List of Works" included with the biography; it lists all the "Histories" as "Comedies".Im trying to study this play; and this text was a complete waste of time. Im about to start searching again for an ANNOTATED copy of Coriolanus.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Shakespeares greatBy lizzb92I love Shakespeare and this one is great; not one of my top loves but is a great easy one to read.1 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Bold proud warriorBy Mary E. SibleyCoriolanus does not want to seek votes just because he was wounded fighting for his country. Men agreed Coriolanus is too noble for this world. His nature mars his fortune. He has an angry tongue. Coriolanus is told he is too absolute. He is to be banished. Some of the officials consider him a traitor. When Coriolanus dies saving Rome; he dies a victim of pride.This Shakespearean drama is surprisingly unbright; dull. Since it is Shakespeare; it is still better than almost anything else.
