No-Nonsense Macbeth: An Enthusiast's Guide to Shakespeare's Play

‘Picture the worst crime you can imagine. Now picture yourself doing it. What happens next?’ No-Nonsense Macbeth: An Enthusiast’s Guide to Shakespeare’s Play is a short, readable scene-by-scene commentary on one of the English canon’s most revered texts, breaking down the play's story and language and offering personal reflections on Shakespeare's audacious tale of ambition, violence and judgement. Frank, conversational and enthusiastically nerdish, Smyth presents an alternative to the clinical neatness of conventional study guides and an ideal entry point for curious but confused students, readers and Bardophiles.
