This definitive Arden Shakespeare edition of Hamlet, edited by Harold Jenkins, is widely regarded as one of the most authoritative and comprehensive scholarly versions of the play. Based on a meticulous collation of the 1604 Second Quarto and the 1623 First Folio, the edition presents a reconstructed text that reflects Jenkins’s editorial insights and commitment to Shakespeare’s original language. It features a substantial introduction, extensive critical commentary, explanatory notes, and appendices that provide historical context and explore textual variations. Designed for both academic and general readers, this edition illuminates the complexity of Hamlet—from its philosophical depth and psychological nuance to its dramatic structure and cultural legacy.
