"To be able to read Macbeth with the eye of one of our profession's
top linguists and scholars is a treat for the heart as well as the
mind."-Tita French Baumlin, Southwest Missouri State University
Perhaps no other Shakespearean drama so engulfs its readers in the
ruinous journey of surrender to evil as does Macbeth. A timeless
tragedy about the nature of ambition, conscience, and the human
heart, the play holds a profound grip on the Western imagination.
This extensively annotated edition makes Macbeth completely
accessible to twenty-first century readers and provides a rich
resource for students, teachers, and general readers. Burton
Raffel's on-page annotations offer generous help with vocabulary
and usage of Elizabethan English, pronunciation, prosody, and
alternative readings of phrases and lines. And in his introduction
he provides religious and social contexts that increase the
reader's understanding of the play. In a concluding essay, Harold
Bloom argues that Macbeth--his favorite of Shakespeare's high
tragedies--is the playwright's most internalized drama.
