Description

This second edition of Macbeth provides a thorough reconsideration of one of Shakespeare's most popular plays. A new introduction by A. R. Braunmuller explores the play's immediate theatrical and political contexts, examining the Gunpowder Plot and its impact on the play's themes and characters.

The introduction is accompanied by a new and well-illustrated account of the play in performance, which examines several cinematic versions, including those by Kurosawa and Roman Polanski, as well as other dramatic adaptations. This edition also considers new sources and the presence of Thomas Middleton's writing in the play.

With its up-to-date scholarship and emphasis on performance, this edition of Macbeth is an ideal choice for students and scholars of Shakespeare's work.
