This volume offers a wealth of critical analysis, supported with
ample historical and bibliographical information about one of
Shakespeare's most enduringly popular and globally influential
plays. Its eighteen new chapters represent a broad spectrum of
current scholarly and interpretive approaches, from historicist
criticism to performance theory to cultural studies. A substantial
section addresses early modern themes, with attention to the
protagonists and the discourses of politics, class, gender, the
emotions, and the economy, along with discussions of significant
'minor' characters and less commonly examined textual passages.
Further chapters scrutinize Macbeth's performance, adaptation and
transformation across several media-stage, film, text, and
hypertext-in cultural settings ranging from early
nineteenth-century England to late twentieth-century China. The
editor's extensive introduction surveys critical, theatrical, and
cinematic interpretations from the late seventeenth century to the
beginning of the twenty-first, while advancing a synthetic argument
to explain the shifting relationship between two conflicting
strains in the tragedy's reception. Written to a level that will be
both accessible to advanced undergraduates and, at the same time,
useful to post-graduates and specialists in the field, this book
will greatly enhance any study of Macbeth. Contributors: Rebecca
