William Shakespeare's "Macbeth" (c.1606) is a timeless tale of
love, greed and power, which has given rise to heated debates
around such issues as the representation of gender roles, political
violence and the dramatisation of evil.
Taking the form of a sourcebook, this guide to Shakespeare's play
offers:
- extensive introductory comment on the contexts, critical history
and performance of the text, from publication to the present
- annotated extracts from key contextual documents, reviews,
critical works and the text itself
- cross-references between documents and sections of the guide, in
order to suggest links between texts, contexts and criticism
- suggestions for further reading.
Part of the "Routledge Guides to Literature," this volume is
essential reading for all those beginning detailed study of
"Macbeth "and seeking not only a guide to the play, but a way
through the wealth of contextual and critical material that
surrounds Shakespeare's text.
