As we begin the study of Macbeth, I thought it might be useful to include a list of resources. In addition to the following links, some students have found a side-by-side translation useful. Even better, buy a version of the play with annotations. Although your textbook does include marginal notes, they are not as extensive as they could be. I like the The Annotated Shakespeare series, which includes an introduction and annotations by Burton Raffel and an essay by Harold Bloom. You can find the book locally at Windows.
First, the following is a list of some useful links on Shakespeare:
Folger Shakespeare Library
Shakespeare Birthplace Trust
Mr. William Shakespeare and the Internet
The following are related to Macbeth in particular:
Backstage with the Royal Shakespeare Company
Analysis from Shakespeare-Online
"Macbeth: Playing at Witches"
Wikipedia: Macbeth
As noted in class, we will read and perform portions of the play. You will also have a couple of writing assignments, of course. I'll post those as they come up.
