Éditions Gallimard

The Killer

Éditions Gallimard is identified in the book’s publication notice as the Paris publisher of the original French edition of Macbett, anchoring the play’s first publication in France in 1972.

Role in the Publication History

The notice states that Macbett was originally published in France under that title, with copyright dated 1972, by Éditions Gallimard in Paris. This establishes the publisher’s specific connection to the play: it issued the French original, rather than the English translation represented in this volume.

Relation to the English Edition

The publication information distinguishes the French original from the English-language edition. The translation carries a separate 1973 copyright credit to Grove Press, while Éditions Gallimard is named for the original French publication. The two credits mark successive stages in the play’s publication history without suggesting that Éditions Gallimard published this English edition.
