Editors' note: This essay inaugurates the CRB's Locus Classicus feature, in which we review good and great works of the past that continue to compel modern attention. Harry Jaffa's interpretation of Macbeth, published here for the first time, is adapted from a lecture delivered at Hillsdale College in 1974. It was the last of three memorable lectures by him on three great literary murder sagas: Camus's The Stranger, Dostoevsky's Crime and Punishment, and Shakespeare's Macbeth.

Brandeis University historian David Hackett Fischer’s African Founders illuminates the leading controversies today with facts that shame political cant and enable us to reassess the centuries of slavery’s effects on American national character. In a scholarly tome of over 900 pages, Fischer follows the method of his earlier work, Albion’s Seed: Four British Folkways in America.There he traced the peopling of America from the perspective of the character of different regions of Britain.
