Edited, Introduced and Annotated by Cedric Watts, M.A., Ph.D.,
Emeritus Professor of English, University of Sussex. The Wordsworth
Classics' Shakespeare Series presents a newly-edited sequence of
William Shakespeare's works. The Textual editing takes account of
recent scholarship while giving the material a careful reappraisal.
Hamlet is not only one of Shakespeare's greatest plays, but also
the most fascinatingly problematical tragedy in world literature.
First performed around 1600, this a gripping and exuberant drama of
revenge, rich in contrasts and conflicts. Its violence alternates
with introspection, its melancholy with humour, and its subtlety
with spectacle. The Prince, Hamlet himself, is depicted as a
complex, divided, introspective character. His reflections on
death, morality and the very status of human beings make him 'the
first modern man'. Countless stage productions and numerous
adaptations for the cinema and television have demonstrated the
continuing cultural relevance of this vivid, enigmatic, profound
and engrossing drama.
