A tale of unbridled greed and an insatiable thirst for power set in eleventh-century Scotland, Macbeth has long been recognized as Shakespeare’s fastest-moving tragedy, combining relentless narrative momentum with a profound examination of how psychological coercion mixed with personal ambition can lead to murder – and how individual impulses can shape both a man’s own destiny and the course of history.

First performed in around 1606 and published in the First Folio of 1623, Macbeth is presented here in a fully annotated edition that will make the text accessible to twenty-first-century readers, enabling them to appreciate its poetry and encouraging them to delve deeper into its variegated and complex history.

Textual Approach:
Light editorial approach making the text more accessible to modern readers – Meticulous editing, faithful to the first Folio of 1623 – Over 900 textual notes for a clearer or fuller understanding of a word, sentence or passage – Historical notes at the end of the book Additional notes about variants – Appendix with modernised and annotated Holinshed text – Includes Middleton’s witches’ songs – Takes into consideration all modern Shakespeare scholarship – Provides new insight into one of Shakespeare’s major tragedies.

Miguel de Cervantes (1547–1616) was a novelist, playwright and poet, and arguably the most eminent figure in Spanish literature. He is best known for Don Quixote, which is one of the most widely read classics in world literature.
