Focusing on the ways in which Shakespeare re-imagined the revenge plot and its capacity to investigate the human experiences of love, grief, obligation, and memory, Heather Hirschfeld explores the play's cultural and theatrical contexts, its intricate textual issues, its vibrant critical traditions and controversies, and its history of performance and adaptation by celebrated directors, actors, and authors. Supplemented by an updated reading list, extensive illustrations and helpful appendices, this edition also features revised commentary notes explicitly designed for the student reader, offering the very best in contemporary criticism of this great tragedy.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eIntroduction\u003cbr\u003e Note on the text\u003cbr\u003e List of characters\u003cbr\u003e The play\u003cbr\u003e Reading list\u003cbr\u003e Appendices.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Shakespeare studies \u0026amp; criticism [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Shakespeare studies \u0026amp; criticism\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Shakespeare%20studies%20\u0026amp;%20criticism%20%5BDSGS%5D%22\"\u003eDSGS\u003c\/a\u003e], Literary studies: plays \u0026amp; playwrights [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Literary studies: plays \u0026amp; playwrights\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Literary%20studies:%20plays%20\u0026amp;%20playwrights%20%5BDSG%5D%22\"\u003eDSG\u003c\/a\u003e], Shakespeare plays [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Shakespeare plays\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Shakespeare%20plays%20%5BDDS%5D%22\"\u003eDDS\u003c\/a\u003e], Plays, playscripts [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Plays, playscripts\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Plays,%20playscripts%20%5BDD%5D%22\"\u003eDD\u003c\/a\u003e], Literature \u0026amp; literary studies [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Literature \u0026amp; literary studies\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Literature%20\u0026amp;%20literary%20studies%20%5BD%5D%22\"\u003eD\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Cambridge University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45999584084248,"sku":"9781316606735","price":11.29,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/products\/9781316606735i_0f170d68-44ef-4217-8137-b3341bdde714.jpg?v=1696682832","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/hamlet-prince-of-denmark-paperback-9781316606735","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
