Hamlet by Ann Thompson
Grausam, nicht unnat rlich la mich sein; Nur reden will ich Dolche, keine brauchen. Vom Geist seines toten Vaters erf hrt Hamlet, dass dessen Bruder Claudius ihn heimt ckisch ermordet und dann Land und Krone an sich gerissen hat. Hamlet schw rt Rache und t uscht eine geistige Verwirrung vor. In seinem Wahnsinn droht er sich selbst und seine Familie ins Verderben zu st rzen.
[Thompson and Taylor] give us a text quite different from the edited versions that shaped debate for much of the past 400 years.. There is intellectual consistency to [their] position. * Times Literary Supplement *
The editors’ 168 pages of introduction and 103 pages worth of appendices provide an unprecedented level of contextualization on matters cultural, textual, and theatrical. * Studies in English Literature 1500-1900 *
The scholarship … remains at the high standard expected from the Arden Series … Probably one of the most ambitious scholarly editions of the play to be published in the past century or so, if only for its attempt to present the textual complexities of the relationships between quartos and folio by printing all three early authoritative versions. * Sixteenth Century Journal *
