The Tragedie Of Hamlet, Prince Of Denmark _{A Study With The Text Of The Folio Of 1623}

“By this edition of Hamlet I hope to help the student of Shakspere to understand the play and first of all Hamlet himself, whose spiritual and moral nature are the real material of the tragedy, to which every other interest of the play is subservient. But while mainly attempting, from the words and behaviour Shakspere has given him, to explain the man, I have cast what light I could upon everything in the play, including the perplexities arising from extreme condensation of meaning, figure, and expression.”
