This rich interdisciplinary collection of primary materials and commentary about Shakespeare's Macbeth will help student and teacher explore historical, literary, theatrical, social, and political issues related to the play.

Bringing together past and present in its approach to Macbeth, the guide explores topics ranging from Shakespeare's stage to modern political events - from historical focus on the Gunpowder Plot of 1605 and its influence on the play, to theatrical interest in the stage and performance, to thematic connections between Macbeth and modern events such as Watergate and the Oklahoma City bombing. Excerpted documents range from royal proclamations to court confessions, from an actor's journal to dramatic criticism, from a short story to movie reviews.

Ideas for classroom discussion, student assignments, paper topics, and bibliographies provide additional sources for examining the play in context.
