«Macbeth» is the tragedy by William Shakespeare, published by Wordsworth Ltd in paperback (128 pages, in English).
Macbeth, a Scottish general, receives a prophecy from witches that he will become king. That revelation awakens his ambition and his wife's, and drags him into committing crimes to gain and keep the crown. The play explores guilt, supernatural power, and the psychological erosion of the characters, with poetry of great dramatic intensity.
Annotated edition from the Wordsworth Classics collection, with introduction, editing, and notes by Cedric Watts, professor at the University of Sussex.
Suitable for literature students and readers interested in classical theatre and Shakespeare's work.
William Shakespeare was an English playwright, poet and actor. He is widely regarded as the greatest writer in the English language and the world's pre-eminent dramatist. He is often called England's national poet and the "Bard of Avon" or simply "the Bard". His extant works, including collaborations, consist of some 39 plays, 154 sonnets, 3 long narrative poems and a few other verses, some of uncertain authorship. His plays have been translated into every major living language and are performed more often than those of any other playwright. Shakespeare remains arguably the most influential writer in the English language, and his works continue to be studied and reinterpreted.
