Shakespeare is widely regarded as the greatest ever writer in the English language. However, since his plays were written over four hundred years ago, the language he uses can be difficult for the modern reader to decipher. That’s why in this side-by-side edition, Macbeth has been translated into modern English and is presented right beside Shakespeare’s original text for easy reference. This means that anyone is able to engage with this remarkable story and easily comprehend its plot, character development and imagery. It is perfect for students who have been tasked with studying Macbeth, but is designed for anyone who wants to read and engage with this seminal work of literature.
