Nahum Tate [1682], The ingratitude of a Common-Wealth: Or, the fall of Caius Martius Coriolanus. As it is acted at the Theatre-Royal. By N. Tate (Printed by T. M. for Joseph Hindmarsh [etc.], London) [word count] [S30600]. To look up a word in a dictionary, select the word with your mouse and press 'd' on your keyboard.
Note return to page 1 Tate's unusually gory, anti-democratic version of CORIOLANUS was first acted in 1681, and never revived after 1682. As its preface explains, it was avowedly written as a piece of contemporary political satire, and it did not outlive the constitutional events (the Exclusion Crisis of 1681-82) on which it comments.
Note return to page 2 †Ragland Castle (the Marquess of Worcester's Seat) the last Garrison held out for the KING.
