The first edition of Hamlet - often called 'Q1', shorthand for
'first quarto' - was published in 1603, in what we might regard as
the early modern equivalent of a cheap paperback. Yet this early
version of Shakespeare's classic tragedy is becoming increasingly
canonical, not because there is universal agreement about what it
is or what it means, but because more and more Shakespearians agree
that it is worth arguing about. The essays in this collected volume
explore the ways in which we might approach Q1's Hamlet, from
performance to book history, from Shakespeare's relationships with
his contemporaries to the shape of his whole career.

The Complete Works: Modern Critical Edition is part of the landmark
New Oxford Shakespeare-an entirely new consideration of all of
Shakespeare's works, edited afresh from all the surviving original
versions of his work, and drawing on the latest literary, textual,
and theatrical scholarship. In one attractive volume, the Modern
Critical Edition gives today's students and playgoers the very best
resources they need to understand and enjoy all Shakespeare's
works. The authoritative text is accompanied by extensive
explanatory and performance notes, and innovative introductory
materials which lead the reader into exploring questions about
interpretation, textual variants, literary criticism, and
performance, for themselves. The Modern Critical Edition presents
the plays and poetry in the order in which Shakespeare wrote them,
so that readers can follow the development of his imagination, his
engagement with a rapidly evolving culture and theatre, and his
relationship to his literary contemporaries. The New Oxford
Shakespeare consists of four interconnected publications: the
Modern Critical Edition (with modern spelling), the Critical
Reference Edition (with original spelling), a companion volume on
Authorship, and an online version integrating all of this material
on OUP's high-powered scholarly editions platform. Together, they
provide the perfect resource for the future of Shakespeare studies.
