Transformaciones neoclásicas del Macbeth shakespeariano

Abstract

In this article we reconsider the adaptation of Macbeth by Sir William D'Avenant and follow the transformations of the Sakespearean Macbeth through the neoclassic period. With that purpose we examine the views offered by not only well known critics and writers, but also by other not so well known spectators or readers. We believe that the study of Shakespearean adaptations and transformations offers a unique opportunity to trace the development of theatrical taste and the changes of literary standards of criticism.
