About this product

Product Information

This self contained, free standing volume gives readers the Second Quarto text of Hamlet (1604-5) and includes in its introduction, notes and appendices the gold standard scholarship and commentary that characterises all Arden editions. As well as a full, illustrated introduction to the play's historical, cultural and performance contexts and a thorough survey of critical approaches to the play, an appendix contains the additional passages found only in the 1623 text. 'The new Arden Hamlet is a pathbreaking edition, one that promises to change irrevocably our understanding of Shakespeare's greatest play.' Professor James Shapiro, author of 1599- A Year in the Life of William Shakespeare. 'Stunning! There is absolutely no doubt about this being the text to buy if you are studying the play at A Level. And the same stands for those students who will be studying the play at university.' The Use of English, The English Association.
