Download or read book Shakespeare and the First Hamlet written by Terri Bourus and published by Berghahn Books. This book was released on 2022-06-10 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first edition of Hamlet – often called ‘Q1’, shorthand for ‘first quarto’ – was published in 1603, in what we might regard as the early modern equivalent of a cheap paperback. Yet this early version of Shakespeare’s classic tragedy is becoming increasingly canonical, not because there is universal agreement about what it is or what it means, but because more and more Shakespearians agree that it is worth arguing about. The essays in this collected volume explore the ways in which we might approach Q1’s Hamlet, from performance to book history, from Shakespeare’s relationships with his contemporaries to the shape of his whole career.

Download or read book The Oxford Shakespeare Hamlet written by William Shakespeare and published by Oxford Paperbacks. This book was released on 2008-04-17 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hamlet's combination of violence and introspection is unusual among Shakespeare's tragedies. It is also full of curious riddles and fascinating paradoxes, making it one of his most widely discussed plays. Professor Hibbard's 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 Shakespeare's own revision of an earlier version. The result is a `theatrical' and highly practical edition for students and performers alike.

Download or read book William Shakespeare Hamlet written by Sydney Bolt and published by Penguin (Non-Classics). This book was released on 1990 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: No English play has proved as consistently challenging, as open to re-interpretation or as probing in its exploration of conscience as Hamlet. For this critical study, Sydney Bolt isolates six significant factors of the play - the plot, stagecraft, speech, roles, themes and the nature of tragedy - and demonstrates how Shakepeare's use of them has given us some of the most profound and universal drama ever written. The play is then examined in its historical context and compared with other Elizabethan revenge tragedies. There is also a discussion of the meaning of tragedy, and Hamlet is reviewed in the light of both classical and contemporary theories. --
