The bestselling, authoritative Folger Shakespeare Library edition of Macbeth, featuring Shakespeare's complete original text, expert annotations, scene-by-scene summaries, and trusted scholarship for students, teachers, and general readers.

For more than seventy years, the Folger Shakespeare Library editions have been the standard classroom and reading editions of Shakespeare's plays. Used in high schools, colleges, universities, and theaters around the world, each volume combines the complete original text with expert editorial guidance that makes Shakespeare's language more accessible while preserving every nuance of the play.

One of Shakespeare's most powerful tragedies, Macbeth tells the story of a celebrated Scottish general whose encounter with three mysterious witches sets him on a path of ambition, murder, and tyranny. Haunted by prophecy and driven by his own desires, and those of Lady Macbeth, he sacrifices honor, friendship, and ultimately his humanity in pursuit of power. Exploring ambition, fate, guilt, conscience, and corruption, Macbeth remains one of Shakespeare's most frequently studied, performed, and discussed plays.

Whether you're reading Macbeth for school, teaching it in the classroom, preparing for AP English Literature, studying Shakespeare in college, performing the play, or simply returning to one of the greatest works of English literature, this edition provides the context and guidance to help you read Shakespeare with confidence.
