As Shakespeare's works are most accessible when viewed as working theatrical playscripts, "The Tragedie of Macbeth: A Frankly Annotated First Folio Edition" preserves the spelling, capitalization, and punctuation of the First Folio of 1623 while at the same time providing the most comprehensive, revelatory, and plainspoken annotation to date. Based on the principle that Shakespeare's plays were written as popular (and not entirely decent) entertainments aimed at an adult (and not overly refined) audience, this no-nonsense and sexually candid text offers performers, scholars, and anyone with an interest in Shakespeare a unique resource to gain valuable insights into the play, the world in which Shakespeare wrote, and the playhouse in which his plays were produced.
William Shakespeare was a well renowned English playwright, poet, and actor, widely regarded as the greatest writer in the English language and the world's leading dramatist. Born on April 23, 1564, in Stratford-upon-Avon, he is often referred to as England's national poet and the "Bard of Avon." His works, including iconic plays and sonnets, have had a profound influence on literature, theater, and the English language. Shakespeare married Anne Hathaway in 1582, and they had three children: Hamnet, Judith, and Susanna. He received his education at King Edward VI School in Stratford, which helped shape his literary career. Throughout his life, Shakespeare produced an extensive body of work, ranging from tragedies and comedies to historical plays, many of which remain central to the Western literary canon. He passed away on April 23, 1616, on his 52nd birthday, leaving behind a legacy that continues to impact literature, theater, and cultural history.
