NCS: Macbeth – Braunmuller

The New Cambridge Shakespeare presents critical edictions in modern-spelling of Shakespeare’s individual plays, of his Sonnets, and of his narrative poems.The series has won a high reputation for its lively new emphases, which are constantly supported by the state-of-the art scholarship and judicious critical insight displayed by its distinguished international cast of editors.The aim of the series is to provide lively instructive access to these rich and complex works without over-simplifying them. For this task editors are chosen to combine scholarship and critical intelligence with proven communicative skills as expert teachers; their brief is to write with clarity, and freedom from jargon, in all areas – even the technical questions of textual editing, instead of being as usual shrouded in obfuscation, are here introduced in plain terms so that their interest and importance can be seen by the non-expert.
