Shakespeare’s Macbeth appeared in the renowned India-British publishing house Roman Books. The book collects essays from acclaimed academic authors from four continents. It makes some breakthrough discoveries in the reading of the principal tragedy. The book Macbeth is a part of a series, which will appear under the editorship of Boris Drenkov. It includes also essays on Twelfth Night, Hamlet and Marlowe’s Doctor Faustus.

As Drenkov says in his introduction, the articles in this collection are unified by their ‘touch of the real’, which in some articles is more palpable than in others. All the works assembled here deal with basic questions that are in the core of the Shakespeare play or in its interpretational and adaptation history. They develop these with modern associations, philosophical observations and direct conclusions.
