MacBeth A Facing Page Edition--The Original Text and a Translation into Modern English

This represents a new alternative to the existing annotated editions of "MACBETH." On the facing page opposite the original text is a literarily high quality verse translation of it into modern English, no mere prose paraphrase. Because of the presence of this verse translation, there is no need for the annotations that typically clutter the printed text of a Shakespearean play. By virtue of its literary qualities, the translation does not diminish or detract from the great original it accompanies; it just clarifies the meaning of archaic passages, without the need for the footnotes that needlessly interrupt the flow in other editions. Among the many favorable reviews is this from Grant Taylor: "WHAT A WONDERFUL PRODUCTION ALL-ROUND. ... FIRST OFF, THE COVER IS JUST RIGHT. ... FINALLY, THE PIECE DE RESISTANCE, THE TRANSLATION, IS MAGNIFICENT!"Shakespeare, William is the author of 'MacBeth A Facing Page Edition--The Original Text and a Translation into Modern English' with ISBN 9780962810305 and ISBN 0962810304.
