Excerpt from Macbeth: A TragedyThe decorations for the Coburn Players' Macbeth Book, aim to illustrate the mental tones and colors that make up the play when regarded as a design.The cover, illustrating the line, "Is this a dagger which I see before me?" is more self-explanatory than the border designs, whose subject matter may be found in the lines of the Witches in act IV, scene I."Brindled cat," "hedge-pig," "harpie," and "poisoned entrails" will be found in the upper right and left hand corners of the left and right hand pages.Excepting these four, which are introductory, the twenty-four ingredients which the Witches put into the cauldron are represented in the order of the text, beginning with "fillet of a fenny snake" and reading to the right and down the right hand side of the left hand page, thence up the left-hand side to the right hand page and over to "gibbet."Five panels on the extreme left are representative of Macbeth the soldier, while five on the extreme right refer to Macbeth as King.In the first of these panels on the left is the owl of wisdom, balanced on the right side by the more sinister bat. The helmet and mail is balanced by the crown and ermine; the sword and belt by the sceptre and orb; the victory palm by the double throne; the battle victims by Birnam wood.Two large panels at the bottom on the left, show the "blasted heath"; on the right the corresponding panels represent the royal castle and army.In the lower left hand corner of the left hand page is a Shakespeare monogram; opposite is the initial letter of Macbeth.The scene on the title page, showing Macbeth at the witches' cave and that of Lady Macbeth in Act V, Scene I, were selected to be expressed in design, rather than in photographs on account of their deeper significance in the structure of the play.

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.

By Dag Stomberg Shakespeare's play is a wonderful drama - it was by far one of his most successful plays, and Elizabethian audiences loved it-but itbears little resemblance to historical reality-that said, the playis the thing!"A play of darkness originally conceived for daylight performance atthe Globe, Macbeth is truly a tour de force of theatrical illusionfrom the supernatural to mere delusion."To quote, Nicholas Brooke, "Readers, however critical, are always selective, but a theatre audience is obliged to attend to whateverit is shown..." In this fully annotated edition, Brooke investigates the great appeal of the play's use of illusion.The book makes a major contribution to our understanding of the play within aesthetic history!Do study this excellent book.Dag StombergSt. Andrews, Scotland

Confusing By Rachel When purchasing the book, I assumed that "annotated" meant that it would contain helpful explanations; however, I did not come across a single one throughout the play. Also, some of the scene numbers were different when compared to actual printed plays. Although this was only 99 cents, I would have rather payed the extra dollar for a different copy.
0 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Every Yale edition of Shakespeare is the tops. By bob phoenix Have been buying these editions every month or so for my Shakespeare book group.Just right amount of gloss: version (folio quarto) issues explained. Text itself well laid out. These are old editions which have not been bettered. For the very modest cost, they must be the best bargains in literature. All of my copies are in good condition and unmarked. Covers are faded but title lettering still visible.Small and thin enough to carry around in trouser pocket. (big plus for me)
