This edition of Shakespeare's Macbeth allows a variety of approaches to Shakespeare, including historical, feminist, and cultural studies. Shakespeare's text is accompanied by an intriguing collection of thematically arranged historical and cultural documents and illustrations, including excerpts from such sources as letters, conduct books, legal documents, and literary works that illuminate the themes of the play. The editor's introductions to the play and to the documents (which are presented in modern spelling with annotations) offer a richly textured understanding of Elizabethan culture and of Shakespeare's work within that culture.

저자소개
저자 : Shakespeare, William 영국의 시인, 극작가. 세계 연극사상 최대의 극작가이며, 영국 문학사를 장식하는 대시인이다. 1564년에 태어나 1616년에 타계하였다. '햄릿', '리어왕', '오셀로', '맥베스', '로미오와 줄리엣', '말괄량이 길들이기', '베니스의 상인', '한 여름 밤의 꿈' 등 37편의 희곡과 장시 2편과 54편의 소네트를 썼다. 18세기 이래 영국에서는 '셰익스피어학'이라는 독립된 학문이 발전하여 모든 비평 원리의 선례로 이용되고 있으며, 극단에서는 셰익스피어의 극이 배우의 등용문으로 되어 있다. 셰익스피어의 전 희곡 37편 가운데 거의 절반은 그의 생전에 출판되었다. 그의 예술은 연극이라는 매체를 통해 인간 내면의 세계를 극한까지 추구한 것으로, 시적 표현이 넘치는 최고의 운문과 함께 세계 문학사와 연극사의 텍스트로 전해지고 있다.
