Macbeth
by William Shakespeare
Edited by Alfred Harbage
Two Scottish Generals, MacBeth, and Banquo are on their way home from successful battles when they encounter three witches. With the prophecies of power and fame they give him swirling through his head, Macbeth tells his wife that the witches dvined that he would become king of Scotland.
Eager to see her husband as king, Lady Macbeth encourages him to murder King Duncan and assume the throne. A tale of obsession and forcing the fates, this unabridged version of Wiliam Shakespeare's classic English tragedy was first published in 1623.
This superb series is distinguished by its skilled and unobtrusive editing, under the scholarly and sensitive supervision of Alfred Harbage. Great pains have been taken to follow Shakespeare's intentions with regard to the act and scene division and the exact form of specch.
