This is the most extensively annotated edition of Macbeth

currently available, offering a thorough reconsideration of one of

Shakespeare's most popular plays. A full and accessible updated

introduction studies the immediate theatrical and political

contexts of Macbeth's composition, especially the Gunpowder Plot

and the contemporary account of an early performance at the Globe.

It treats such issues as whether the Witches compel Macbeth to

murder; whether Lady Macbeth is herself in some sense a witch;

whether Banquo is Macbeth's accomplice in crime; and what criticism

is levelled against Macduff. Several possible new sources are

suggested, and the presence of Thomas Middleton's writing in the

play is proposed. An extensive, well-illustrated account of the

play in performance examines several cinematic versions, such as

those by Kurosawa and Roman Polanski, and a brand new introductory

section on recent performances and adaptations brings the edition

completely up-to-date.
