Macbeth : The new Oxford Shakespeare

Shakespeare, William, 1564-16162024
Books
Dark and violent, 'Macbeth' is a restless, haunting exploration of the human costs of violence and power. One of the most theatrically spectacular of Shakespeare's plays, 'Macbeth' has endured as a psychologically and supernaturally sinister work. Emma Smith's introduction considers the historical and contemporary contexts of the play, from the influence of the Gunpowder Plot as an act of domestic terrorism, to the combination of banal domesticity and pure horror in the play's setting and events.
