Description
Shakespeare's Hamlet is one of the most frequently performed and studied plays in the world. This fully annotated version makes it accessible to readers in the 21st century, with generous help from linguist and translator Burton Raffel. Raffel's annotations provide readers with all the tools they need to comprehend the play and begin to explore its many possible interpretations. The book includes a careful selection of items for "Further Reading" and an introduction that offers important background on the origins and previous versions of the Hamlet story, along with analysis of the characters Hamlet and Ophelia. A concluding essay by Harold Bloom meditates on the originality of Shakespeare's achievement, adding depth to this unparalleled edition.
