Description
The fourth in a series of editions of Shakespeare's most political and history-soaked plays, this Macbeth offers copious aids to understanding the play not found in any other edition.
By attending to the play's medieval Scottish setting in a way that rival editors have never matched—when they have even dug beyond the early seventeenth-century context in which it was produced—Jan H. Blits's edition richly rewards readers left unsatisfied by decodings of the play's supposed allusions to the politics of early modern England who wish to look deeper.
In doing so, it opens the text for readers to encounter, in new ways, the play's historical, political, and psychological significance.
Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?
Praised for its originality and depth: This edition offers extensive commentary on the political and historical setting of Macbeth along with nuanced insights into themes like succession and the clash between heroic virtues and Christian values. The notes and introduction are highlighted as compelling and enlightening, opening up rarely addressed aspects of the drama and providing thoroughly engaging support for readers.
