The Authoritative Edition Of Macbeth From The Folger Shakespeare Library, The Trusted And Widely Used Shakespeare Series For Students And General Readers.In 1603, James Vi Of Scotland Ascended The English Throne, Becoming James I Of England. London Was Alive With An Interest In All Things Scottish, And Shakespeare Turned To Scottish History For Material. He Found A Spectacle Of Violence And Stories Of Traitors Advised By Witches And Wizards, Echoing Jamess Belief In A Connection Between Treason And Witchcraft.In Depicting A Man Who Murders To Become King, Macbeth Teases Us With Huge Questions. Is Macbeth Tempted By Fate, Or By His Or His Wifes Ambition? Why Does Their Success Turn To Ashes?Like Other Plays, Macbeth Speaks To Each Generation. Its Story Was Once Seen As That Of A Hero Who Commits An Evil Act And Pays An Enormous Price. Recently, It Has Been Applied To Nations That Overreach Themselves And To Modern Alienation. The Line Is Blurred Between Macbeths Evil And His Opponents Good, And There Are New Attitudes Toward Both Witchcraft And Gender.This Edition Includes:Freshly Edited Text Based On The Best Early Printed Version Of The Playnewly Revised Explanatory Notes Conveniently Placed On Pages Facing The Text Of The Playscenebyscene Plot Summariesa Key To The Plays Famous Lines And Phrasesan Introduction To Reading Shakespeares Languagean Essay By A Leading Shakespeare Scholar Providing A Modern Perspective On The Playfresh Images From The Folger Shakespeare Librarys Vast Holdings Of Rare Booksan Uptodate Annotated Guide To Further Readingessay By Susan Snyderthe Folger Shakespeare Library In Washington, Dc, Is Home To The Worlds Largest Collection Of Shakespeares Printed Works, And A Magnet For Shakespeare Scholars From Around The Globe.
