Hamlet by William Shakespeare

Shakespeare’s Hamlet blends fierce action with profound introspection, riddles, and paradox. G. R. Hibbard’s introduction unravels how eighteenth‑century editors fused variant texts into today’s standard version. This edition restores the First Folio text—Shakespeare’s own revision—offering a more ‘theatrical’ and practical play text for both study and performance.

Key Features:

Radical new text based on the 1623 First Folio
Expert introduction exploring textual history
Helpful notes and up‑to‑date bibliography
Designed for students and actors alike
