Review
"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" ""Hamlet"'s latest editors have undertaken a heroic task with great skill and thoroughness."--Stanley Wells, "The Observer "(UK)"" "Quite simply the most comprehensive edition of the play currently available, a status I suspect it will enjoy for many years to come."--"The British Theatre Guide" "Stunning! There is absolutely no doubt about this being the text to buy . . . for those students who will be studying the play at university. This critical edition gives the reader the Second Quarto Text (1604-1605), annotated with intelligence and care, a wealth of historical and cultural references and a survey of different critical approaches to the play."--"The Use of English
