This memorial edition honours the late Harold Jenkins, General Editor of the Arden 2nd Series and editor of the Arden 2 Hamlet, collecting his most valued classic lectures and essays for the first time in one volume. Many of these are now out of print, or have never been formally published, making this a unique tribute edition. Jenkins was a globally respected academic, and his works are still critically current. His most memorable essays have been chosen and edited by Ernst Honigmann to give the reader unique access to the very best of Harold Jenkins' critical work. Featuring in particular his famous essays on Hamlet, this book makes an invaluable companion piece to Jenkins' Arden edition of the play.
