Hamlet presents one of the world's best-loved fictional characters, whose moving story has proved continuously fascinating to the reader, the scholar, and the spectator in the theatre.

This new edition in The Folger Library General Reader's Shakespeare series has been especially prepared by two f the world's foremost Elizabethan authorities. As in the other volumes in this distinguished new series, the text is printed on right-hand pages only and all notes are placed on the pages facing the text they explain. The test is also illustrated from contemporary sources.

Work Description

In this quintessential Shakespeare tragedy, a young prince's halting pursuit of revenge for the murder of his father unfolds in a series of highly charged confrontations that have held audiences spellbound for nearly four centuries. Those fateful exchanges, and the anguished soliloquies that precede and follow them, probe depths of human feeling rarely sounded in any art.
The title role of Hamlet, perhaps the most demanding in all of Western drama, has provided generations of leading actors their greatest challenge. Yet all the roles in this towering drama are superbly delineated, and each of the key scenes offers actors a rare opportunity to create theatrical magic.
As if further evidence of Shakespeare's genius were needed, Hamlet is a unique pleasure to read as well as to see and hear performed. The full text of this extraordinary drama is reprinted here from an authoritative British edition complete with illuminating footnotes.
