Critics Review
An incredibly clear, yet detailed guide to aid any teacher (new or experienced!) in their intellectual preparation for Macbeth. Another excellent addition to the Bloomsbury Teacher Guide series. * Donal Hale, Director of Literacy and Learning, Trinity Academy Leeds. @HaleDonal *
Smith and Hanratty’s manuscript is the “dagger of the mind” English teachers need: vivid, precise and impossible to ignore. It cuts through Macbeth with scholarly sharpness and classroom wisdom, offering rich context, practical pauses and elegant analysis. A superb guide for helping students meet Shakespeare’s darkness with confidence. * Professor Haili Hughes, Professor of Educational Mentoring and Coaching, Academica University of Applied Sciences *
Engaging and accessible, Conor and Amy’s book provides students with a scaffold for understanding Shakespeare’s Macbeth. But, more than that, it prompts learners to generate their own opinions, creating a genuine learning resource that will develop independent and well-informed thinkers. * Dr Miranda Fay Thomas, Assistant Professor in Theatre and Performance, Trinity College Dublin *
