The New Swan Shakespeare edition is entirely written in English and divided as follows: Preface (in which even words from the outdated English will be introduced, which should occur in the tragedy henceforth often), presentation of the figures, place and time, the tragedy itself (fitted with black and white illustrations and on the left sides of the book each with precise explanations of unfamiliar terms / words that appear in "Macbeth"), a glossary of additional words and ultimately some advice / possible discussion topics on "Macbeth" especially for test takers.

For Macbeth himself: For me personally this was the first work of Shakespeare, moreover in English, I've read (I do not say "had to read" (although it was for school), because I have swallowed it voluntarily and only very involuntarily laid back out of his hand. The story told is of course a typical Medieval (battle between kingdoms, intrigue at the royal court, etc.), but this just makes reading so different because you can dive into a different world today. In the Globe Theatre in London go to see the man since Shakespeare's time listed to the theater to his pieces.

The verses (which accompany the whole work up on Act V, Scene 1) are quite enjoyable to read even in English and by the verbal explanations and next not difficult to understand. So you have actually no reverence for Shakespeare's works have, but on the contrary is drawn even in a magic spell, which you can not avoid it after a few pages. You can see the figures in his mind dance, play, fight, it's almost as if you just sitting as a spectator at the theater and enjoy. A good home theater so. A highly recommended work on Shakespeare beginners in my opinion, my curiosity was satisfied and my thirst for knowledge has even increased for other works of WS
