Description
This revision of a widely adopted critical edition presents the 1974 text of the play edited by G. Blakemore Evans from "The Riverside Shakespeare", along with critical essays that read "Hamlet" from contemporary feminist, deconstructive, new historical, cultural studies and psychoanalytic perspectives. The text and essays are complemented by biographical and critical introductions, bibliographies and a glossary of critical and theoretical terms. Four of the six essays are new to the second edition, as is a selection of cultural documents and illustrations and an appendix on editing Shakespeare.
