Shakespeare's Tragedy of Macbeth: Edited for School Use (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Shakespeare's Tragedy of Macbeth: Edited for School Use<br/><br/>It is for the second of these steps that the footnotes have been added.

Shake speare's language is full of dark places to one who knows little save the spoken vocabulary of every-day life. Many lines and even passages of the author are well-nigh unin telligible even to the most experienced editors; manifestly, then, unless care is taken, the average student will conclude that the work is another lifeless grinding of something hard to understand, and therefore devoid of anything that will bring entertainment or pleasure.<br/><br/>About the Publisher<br/><br/>Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
