Hamlet - Paperback

by William Shakespeare (Author), Cyrus Hoy (Editor)

The text is taken from the Norton Critical Edition and includes a preface and footnotes by Byrus Hoy, professor emeritus at the University of Rochester. The preface speaks to the choice of text--primarily the second quarto with reliance on the folio as necessary--and places it in the context of its times and of the evolving criticism of the play.
