Shakespeare's Macbeth: with Annotations and Illustrations
Craig, Madelyn Rose ; Shakespeare, William
Synopsis "Shakespeare's Macbeth: with Annotations and Illustrations"
This new edition of Macbeth includes helpful annotations, unique illustrations, and a commentary on the birds hidden in this fascinating play. ---- Macbeth is a tale of witches, deception, secrecy, and superstition. It is also a tale of loyalty, honor, relationships, and God. But of the many motifs of Macbeth, those revolving around nature and the supernatural are central. Some of these superstitions are hidden in the feathers of birds flitting throughout the play. Despite their number, they often remain unnoticed in the greater scope of the story. But they are not included as merely a background prop nor mentioned by happenstance, rather, the birds are often used to characterize a person or give meaning to a scene's atmosphere. Yet to the modern reader, most of these birds mean little besides name, shape, and perhaps color if the reader is well-versed in bird species. Understanding them allows for understanding the underlying messages of the play. So, enjoy Shakespeare's thrilling Macbeth and learn about the symbols, omens, and messages throughout this play.----Inside you will find: - An edited, modern, first folio edition of Macbeth- A glossary of terms - Annotations on every page to aid in reading and understanding- A concluding commentary- Unique illustrations of the birds mentioned in the play
William Shakespeare (Stratford-upon-Avon, c. 23 de abril de 1564jul. - Ibídem, 23 de abril/3 de mayo de 1616) fue un dramaturgo, poeta y actor inglés. Conocido en ocasiones como el Bardo de Avon (o simplemente el Bardo), se le considera el escritor más importante en lengua inglesa y uno de los más célebres de la literatura universal.
Según la Encyclopædia Britannica, «Shakespeare es generalmente reconocido como el más grande de los escritores de todos los tiempos, figura única en la historia de la literatura. La fama de otros poetas, tales como Homero y Dante Alighieri, o de novelistas tales como León Tolstoy o Charles Dickens, ha trascendido las barreras nacionales, pero ninguno de ellos ha llegado a alcanzar la reputación de Shakespeare, cuyas obras hoy se leen y representan con mayor frecuencia y en más países que nunca. La profecía de uno de sus grandes contemporáneos, Ben Jonson, se ha cumplido por tanto: "Shakespeare no pertenece a una sola época sino a la eternidad"».
