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.<br/><br/>New to this Edition:<br/><br/>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.<br/>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.
