About
Every book layered with historical, theatrical and critical comments you can switch on and off. New commentator tracks added each term.
Every text has been studied before you. ManyMargins puts literary comments back where they belong, in the margins.
Read Macbeth clean. Or open three voices at once and watch them disagree about the same six words.
CORE COMMENTS
- Gloss — archaic words, puns, and the meanings that have drifted
- Plot Explainer: line-by-line explanation of the story
- Historian: what was the historical context
- Psychoanalysis: character traits and arcs
CONTEXT LENSES
Additional lenses that change the shape of the text: feminist, postcolonial, historical reception, performance-history.
