The New Cambridge Shakespeare appeals to students worldwide for its
up-to-date scholarship and emphasis on performance. The series
features line-by-line commentaries and textual notes on the plays
and poems. Introductions are regularly refreshed with accounts of
new critical, stage and screen interpretations. This second edition
of Macbeth provides a thorough reconsideration of one of
Shakespeare's most popular plays. In his introduction, A. R.
Braunmuller explores Macbeth's immediate theatrical and political
contexts, particularly the Gunpowder Plot, and addresses such
celebrated questions as: do the Witches compel Macbeth to murder;
is Lady Macbeth herself in some sense a witch; is Macduff morally
culpable? A new and well-illustrated account of the play in
performance examines several cinematic versions, such as those by
Kurosawa and Roman Polanski, as well as other dramatic adaptations.
Several possible new sources are suggested and the presence of
Thomas Middleton's writing in the play is also proposed.
