Book Description
Excerpt from Shakespeare's Tragedy of Hamlet Several other allusions occur during the early years of the seventeenth century, evidently to the older Hamlet, Bokker'e Settromtix, 16os, My Name's Hamlet revenge West ward Hoe, 1607 (let these husbands play mad Hamlet and cry revenge; Rowland's Tie Night Rm, 1618 i will not cry Hamlet Revenge, etc). There is a comic passage in tile Looking Glass for London and England, written by Lodge Greene, probably before 1589, which strikes me as a burlesque reminiscence of the original of Hamlet, Act 1. Sc. Ii. 184-240; Adam, the smith's man, exclaims thus to the Clown Alas, sir, your father, - why, sir, methinlts i see the gentle man still: a proper youth he was, faith, aged some forty and ten; his beard rat's colour, half black, half white; his nose was in the highest degree of noses, etc. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
Hamlet, Prince of Denmark (The New Cambridge Shakespeare) Updated Edition by William Shakespeare Philip Edwards deals succinctly with the exhaustive commentary and controversy which Hamlet has provoked in the manifestation of its tragic energy. Robert Hapgood has contributed a new section on prevailing critical and performance approaches to the play in this updated edition. He discusses recent film and stage performances and actors of the Hamlet role as well as directors of the play. His account of new scholarship stresses the role of memory in the play and the impact of feminist and performance studies upon it.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Works of Shakespeare: The Tragedy of Hamlet This edition of Hamlet aims in the first place at giving a trustworthy text. Secondly, it attempts to exhibit the variations from that text which are found in the primary sources - the Quarto of I 604 and the Folio of I 62 3 - in so far as those variations are of importance towards the ascertainment of the text. Every variation is not recorded, but I have chosen to err on the side of excess rather than on that of defect. Readings from the Quarto of 1603 are occa sionally given, and also from the later Quartos and Folios, but to record such readings is not a part of the design of this edition. The letter Q means Quarto 1604; F means Folio 1623. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
Excerpt from Shakespeare's Tragedy of Hamlet, Prince of Denmark: Edited With Notes, an Introduction and Outline Questions The play of Hamlet, in its accepted form, was first published in 1604. Shakespeare was then forty years old, and had lived in London, it is supposed, since 1586. During these eighteen years he seems to have been absorbed in the practical demands of theatrical life, and to have been essentially denied the literary means of enlarging his preparation for the playwright's work. That he was able thus to produce in Hamlet one of the most remarkable examples of secular litera ture in the world sufficiently proves the genius of the man. Other plays of Shakespeare are more finished, or evince a nobler art; but none has aroused such interest, or become the subject of so much study, and comment, and discussion.

Book Description
Excerpt from Shakespeare's "Hamlet" Be based on a misunderstanding, not only of this play, but of the whole nature of art; and I am convinced by other criticism which I have read, that such misunderstanding is a common obstacle to the experience of art. I have therefore added a last chapter on Hamlet as an aesthetic document. I must make general acknowledgments to Mr. Bradley, whose essay on Hamlet I have mentioned once or twice; for it may be that I owe more to it than I know.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Tragedy of Hamlet, Prince of Denmarke These facts show that during the period between 1589 and 1603 there existed a play having the story of Hamlet as its foundation, and in which there appeared a ghost appealing for revenge. In the ear lier histories of Hamlet, the father of the prince was openly put to death by his brother. It is only in the later drama, of which we have no account until the year in which we find a record that Shakespeare had become a sharer in the Blackfriars Theatre, that the murder becomes a secret crime, undiscoverable except by the aid of the unquiet Spirit of the victim. The change was bold, and lies at the foundation of the drama. It was a change characteristic of the genius of Shakespeare, and there seems reason for believing that it was he, and he alone, who planned it.
