Folgers Shakespeare Library presents these definitive editions of Shakespeares classic tragedies, featuring scene-by-scene plot summaries, full explanatory notes, and much more. Original. (Plays/Drama) nHamlet is Shakespeares most popular, and most puzzling, play. It follows the form of a revenge tragedy, in which the hero, Hamlet, seeks vengeance against his fathers murderer, his uncle Claudius, now the king of Denmark. Much of its fascination, however, lies in its uncertainties. n Among them: What is the Ghost--Hamlets father demanding justice, a tempting demon, an angelic messenger? Does Hamlet go mad, or merely pretend to? Once he is sure that Claudius is a murderer, why does he not act? Was his mother, Gertrude, unfaithful to her husband or complicit in his murder? n n The authoritative edition of Hamlet from The Folger Shakespeare Library, the trusted and widely used Shakespeare series for students and general readers, includes: n n -Freshly edited text based on the best early printed version of the play n -Newly revised explanatory notes conveniently placed on pages facing the text of the play n -Scene-by-scene plot summaries n -A key to the plays famous lines and phrases n -An introduction to reading Shakespeares language n -An essay by a leading Shakespeare scholar providing a modern perspective on the play n -Fresh images from the Folger Shakespeare Librarys vast holdings of rare books n -An up-to-date annotated guide to further reading n n Essay by Michael Neill n n The Folger Shakespeare Library in Washington, DC, is home to the worlds largest collection of Shakespeares printed works, and a magnet for Shakespeare scholars from around the globe.
