Delius
“The several passages in this play which are difficult of explanation are not so much so on account of misprints, although these are not lacking, as on account of the involved and elliptical style, which is characteristic of Shakespeare's last period. And to this period, which begins about the year 1608, Coriolanus undoubtedly belongs; and while no definite year is furnished us by any notice of a representation of the tragedy during Shakespeare's lifetime, the composition itself allows us to allot only an approximate date.
