A new edition of Hamlet, based on the First Folio of 1623--Shakespeare's "fair copy"--that has been preserved for us in the Second Quarto.
New to this Edition:
Illuminating and original introduction explains the process by which variant texts were fused in the eighteenth century to create the most commonly used text of today. Draws on both critical and theatrical history to show how this gusion makes Hamlet seem a much more 'problematic' play than it was when it originally appeared in the First Folio of 1623.
