Product Description

Hamlet is a tragedy by William Shakespeare, believed to have been written between 1599 and 1601. The play, set in Denmark, recounts how Prince Hamlet exacts revenge on his uncle Claudius, who has murdered Hamlet's father, the King, and then taken the throne and married Gertrude, Hamlet's mother.

The play vividly charts the course of real and feigned madness from overwhelming grief to seething rage and explores themes of treachery, revenge, incest, and moral corruption.

Obviously, Shakespeare's Hamlet is a masterpiece, so my review is aimed solely at the Penguin Popular Classics edition edited by GB Harrison (ISBN 0140620583). If you're looking for a cheap, pocket-sized edition of Hamlet, this is the one to go for. If you're looking for good notes, this edition is to be avoided. The notes are sometimes interesting, but often they either explain things that are very obvious, or are actually plain wrong.

Very easy to follow and wonderfully simply explained textual footnotes make this a very user friendly Hamlet.

Having the commentary beside the text is the only way I can fully enjoy reading Shakespeare. The commentary is useful and adds a lot to the text. Some of the commentary seems to be explaining the obvious but since the book is used by schools studying Shakespeare, I can't complain. It's better than them missing out things which I'd like to have explained.

This book was on my daughter's english literature list. She said that the print could have been bigger otherwise it's fine.
