Macbeth

William Shakespeare is widely considered the greatest writer in the history of the English language, so renowned and respected that the time period in which he lived is often known as the Age of Shakespeare. Indeed, his genius is questioned only by those who doubt the authenticity of his authorship of timeless classics like Romeo and Juliet. As Ben Jonson once put it, "He was not of an age, but for all time.” No other writer, in English or in any other language, can rival the appeal that Shakespeare has enjoyed around the world, and nobody’s had a bigger influence. 

One of Shakespeare’s most famous plays, Macbeth is a story about a man’s insatiable ambition and the corrupt and evil acts he commits in an attempt to fulfill it. Perhaps none of Shakespeare’s plays fully embody the themes of corruption of power, psychological guilt, and treachery more than Macbeth. 

This edition of Shakespeare’s Macbeth is specially formatted with a Table of Contents and is illustrated with over a dozen pictures of history’s greatest playwright.
