Macbeth: A Norton Critical Edition (Third International Student Edition)

di William Shakespeare (Autore)

W. W. Norton & Company, 2025

“With clear and engaging explanation, Professor Miola offers a general introduction to the play, as well as commentary from well-known actors who have played its major roles from the mid-eighteenth century on and material on critical debates. Rather than take single viewpoints on such topics as witchcraft, tyrannicide, equivocation, and the union of Scotland and England, he presents each issue as a debate, open to fruitful discussion among students and colleagues.”—CYNTHIA LEWIS, Davidson College “Framing this devastating play with illuminating readings, this wonderful edition offers readers a vivid introduction to the Macbeths’ blood-steeped world.”—TANYA POLLARD, City University of New York University This Norton Critical Edition includes: The First Folio (1623) text of Macbeth, with updated and expanded footnotes and introductory materials by Robert S. Miola. Illustrations from a wide range of adaptations, including modern stage and film productions. “The Actors’ Gallery,” collecting reflections from actors and actresses about their roles in major productions of Macbeth from the eighteenth to twenty-first centuries. Sources and contexts highlighting early texts that influenced Shakespeare and that range in topics from witchcraft to regicide, with a brand-new category on the union of Scotland and England. Nine selections—four new to the Third Edition—of literary and theatrical criticism. A revised “Afterlives” section, featuring four examples of how Macbeth continues to be reimagined beyond the Folio. An annotated list of online and print resources.
