Macbeth is the most concentrated and intense of Shakespeares tragedies. This dark; thrilling drama of intrigue; witchcraft and murder can be seen as a profound exploration of evil; a powerful study of psychological turmoil; a penetrating examination of urgent political issues and a searching enquiry into masculinity and femininity. Over four centuries; the play has attracted a huge body of commentary; generated a wide range of fascinating interpretations and provoked vigorous controversy.In this Readers Guide; Nicolas Tredell considers the key critical responses to Macbeth from the early seventeenth to the twenty-first century. He provides concise accounts and assessments of the most vital commentaries and interpretations; setting them in their critical; theoretical and historical contexts. Lively and authoritative; this survey is an invaluable resource for students; teachers and all those who wish to deepen their grasp of the crucial concerns of Macbeth criticism and to engage in the ongoing critical debates about the play.

Even though those were difficult years; my experience living in Chatham Village was all that a young lad could dream of -- great playmates; a safe and caring community and beautiful surroundings and facilities. It was wonderful to visit Chatham Village again recently and marvel that it is just as I remembered it. In addition to the book being nostalgic for me; there was a picture which included the front of our home (1942-1945). It is also an interesting story of how and why one of the first planned unit developments in the country was developed; and a study in architecture.3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. Chatham Village; a thriving Pittsburgh communityBy Sandra MorrisAnyone who has ever lived in Chatham Village; or anyone who is interested in community planning will certainly be interested in this finely researched book about one of the countrys first and most successful planned communities. Ms. Bamberg begins with a thorough history of the concept behind the idea for such a community. Admittedly; I had a special interest in the subject since I grew up in Chatham Village and my parents lived there for over 40 years. The author did a thorough job of bringing this concept community to life and juxtaposing it to other similar communities of the time. Photographs; some from the building phase over 80 years ago; brought added interest to the material.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful.
