“First performed in 1599, Hamlet is Shakespeare’s most famous play, and perhaps the most fascinating in world literature.

Although it is a play of revenge, its greatness lies in the unique and thoughtful nature of the prince, whose temperament is philosophical rather than active. His preoccupation with the nature and consequences of man’s actions has led critics to call him ‘the first modern man’.

The text of this edition is taken from the Cambridge University Press New Shakespeare, edited by Sir Arthur Quiller-Couch and John Dover Wilson.”
