Hamlet: The Oxford ShakespeareAuthor :
Paperback
Published : Thursday 17 April 2008
Description
Hamlets combination of violence and introspection is unusual among Shakespeares tragedies. It is also full of curious riddles and fascinating paradoxes, making it one of his most widely discussed plays.Professor Hibbards illuminating and original introduction explains the process by which variant texts were fused together in the eighteenth century to create the most commonly used text of today. Drawing on both critical and theatrical history, he shows how this fusion makes Hamlet seem a much more `problematic play than it was when it originally appeared in the First Folio of 1623.The Oxford Shakespeare edition presents a radically new text, based on that First Folio, which printed Shakespeares own revision of an earlier version. The result is a `theatrical and highly practical edition for students and performers alike.
