Hamlet - The First Quarto (Sos) Paperback / softback
by William Shakespeare, Graham Holderness, Bryan Loughrey
Paperback / softback
- Information
Description
The first in a series on Shakespeare's original texts, including facsimile pages, this version of "Hamlet" is claimed to be, in some ways, the most authentic version of the play that we have.
Included are an introduction, notes, and a theoretical, historical and contextual critique.
This text has been rejected by scholars as a "bad Quarto" - corrupt and pirated text printed without the permission of the playwright or his company.
Nonetheless, it was the first version of the play to be published and it has been produced in the modern theatre with success.
This new edition of that Quarto seeks to acknowledge the play's distinctive poetic and dramatic qualities, instead of comparing them unfavourably to one of the other versions.
