Synopsis

Excerpt from Shakespeare's Tragedy of Macbeth: Edited, With Notes

In the notes I have been under special obligations to Mr. Horace Howard Furness, who has kindly allowed me to make free use of his New Variorum edition of the play (philadelphia, in which much of my work was already done to my hand, and who has given me other help which I could hardly have got elsewhere. My indebted ness to him is acknowledged on almost every page, but I do not know how to state it in full.

About the Author

Arguably the greatest English-language playwright, William Shakespeare was a seventeenth-century writer and dramatist, and is known as the Bard of Avon. Under the patronage of Queen Elizabeth I, he penned more than 30 plays, 154 sonnets, and numerous narrative poems and short verses. Equally accomplished in histories, tragedies, comedy, and romance, Shakespeare s most famous works include Romeo and Juliet, Hamlet, Macbeth, King Lear, The Taming of the Shrew, and As You Like It.

Like many of his contemporaries, including Christopher Marlowe, Shakespeare began his career on the stage, eventually rising to become part-owner of Lord Chamberlain s Men, a popular dramatic company of his day, and of the storied Globe Theatre in London.

Extremely popular in his lifetime, Shakespeare s works continue to resonate more than three hundred years after his death. His plays are performed more often than any other playwright s, have been translated into every major language in the world, and are studied widely by scholars and students.
