"O, what a noble mind is here o'erthrown!"

Probably the most famous play in the English language, Hamlet transcends the revenge tradition and explores the nature of man.

Learning that his father has been killed by Claudius, his uncle, Hamlet's only honourable course of action is revenge. But Hamlet's nature tends not towards action but reflection and in his incapacity to act lies the seed of his own destruction.

The text of this edition is edited by G. B. Harrison and contains notes, a glossary and an introduction.
