Rendering Shakespeare into prosaic, colloquial American English not only explains what Shakespeare was saying, but reveals how much better he said it!

Norton, 1992 Contains Invaluable Information about Hamlet This is worth buying for the critical essays and background information alone. Most interesting is the 'true' story of AMLETH, chronicled around 1100 by Saxo Grammaticus. This piece is bona fide history, albeit with some retouching. It was written about 500 years before Shakespeare took up his pen to write his mighty play, and is very interesting to contrast with the play. Much more is contained ...             Hamlet (The New Folger Library Shakespeare)34 reviews William Shakespeare Washington Square Press, 2003 If you want to read Shakespeare its has to be The new folger Library If you ever thought about reading Shakespeare but was turned off or intimidated by the old english, not so with the new folger editions.

I paraphrase Whitman by claiming that Hamlet contains multitudes. And of what other literary figures can we say such things and get away with it sounding normal? Perhaps God (especially the Yahweh of the Tanakh) and Jesus (either Nazarethian or Christ), perhaps Ulysses. Hamlet is so huge a figure greater ...             Hamlet (Cambridge School Shakespeare)153 reviews William Shakespeare Cambridge University Press, 2005 To thine own self be true ...

I remember well using Cliffs Notes for Hamlet when I was in high school. I did not like Shakespeare at all. I couldn't understand it. I didn't just read the Cliffs Notes, but used it as I read the book to help me interpret what I was reading. The book explains the play passage by passage. As useful as the Cliffs Notes are for understanding Shakespeare, I found the analyses at the end an ...             I Hate Hamlet.6 reviews Paul Rudnick Dramatists Play Service Inc, 1998 A celebration of theater, echoes of Barrymore... This is a witty, rakish, stylish tribute to all actors in general, and Barrymore in particular. It's a wonderful play for a local theater group (I say that from experience). If you're an aspiring playwright, this is one you'll wish you had written. Rudnick's "Notes on Production" are very informative. Be ready for a challenge, actors: "Dying is easy. Comedy is hard."             Hamlet1 review William Shakespeare Barron''s Educational Series, 2002 You will be absorbed into the story This really is "The Tragical History of Hamlet Prince of Denmark" and not only the Prince but his family.

I'll reserve my thoughts on the play itself for the Second Quarto Edition of Arden, and give here some thoughts on the editions themselves. In brief.
