| "According to [Shakespeare's] version of the story, Coriolanus, 'the People's Enemy', has just left the city, banished... His mother Volumnia, his wife Virgilia, his friend Menenius, having, with others, taken leave of the 'noble Roman' outside the gates of the city, return within its walls, and in a street hear the gate the two women and their companion accidentally meet Brutus and Sicinius, the tribunes of the people, who, from jealousy of Coriolanus, have aided in stirring them up to banish him. ...the meeting afforded Volumnia and her daughter-in-law the opportunity of speaking their minds with far more openness, perhaps, than courtesy." (Art Journal 1877) | ||||
