Sommario/riassunto

First published in 1982.<BR> <BR> <EM>Macbeth</EM> exercises a strange influence over readers and theatre audiences: the words of the text offer no easy clue to meaning or significance and in dramatic structure the play is very different from other Shakespearean tragedies. Many kinds of study are needed in order to understand the tragedy of <EM>Macbeth</EM> and this book provides a wide range of studies that respect the individuality of the text and examine it from different viewpoints.<BR> <BR> Contents include: Themes and Structure; Characterization and Narrative, Visual Effects, Performance
