The Arden Shakespeare Hamlet – Harold Jenkins

Description

The Arden Shakespeare Hamlet by Harold Jenkins is a comprehensive and authoritative edition of Shakespeare’s iconic tragedy, offering insightful commentary and analysis for both students and theatre lovers.

The Arden Shakespeare, founded in the 1890s, has, with a continuing process of revision, established itself as the standard scholarly edition of Shakespeare’s works.

Each play appears in a separate volume with critical notes, apparatus, appendices giving extracts from the relevant sources, and a full introduction. For the general reader and for students who want something more substantial than school texts or a one-volume Shakespeare, the Arden edition, edited to the highest standards of modern scholarship, has continued to prove invaluable.

The general editors of the series are Harold F. Brooks, Emeritus Professor of English in the University of London; Harold Jenkins, Emeritus Professor of English in the University of Edinburgh; and Brian Morris, Principal of St David’s University College, Lampeter. The illustration on the cover is by David Inshaw, a member of the Brotherhood of Ruralists, a group of seven artists who have a passionate concern for English artistic skills and craftsmanship, and who see their work as the celebration of a vital tradition in English art, and its ultimate source, the spirit of the countryside.
