The only Shakespearean tragedy that has a villain as its hero, "Macbeth" presents a stark and disturbing view of the psychology of wickedness and guilt. Part of the "Barnes & Noble Shakespeare" series, this features newly edited texts prepared by leading scholars from Great Britain and America, in collaboration with one of the world's foremost Shakespeare authorities, David Scott Kastan of Columbia University. Together they have produced texts as faithful as possible to those that Shakespeare wrote.
