Publisher: Berghahn Books
The first edition of Hamlet, often referred to as "Q1" for "first quarto," was published in 1603, during the early modern period, which can be likened to a modern-day paperback. Despite its early status, this version of Shakespeare's renowned tragedy is gaining increasing canonical status, not because there is a universal consensus about its interpretation or significance, but rather because there is a growing recognition among scholars that it is worth engaging with and debating. The essays included in this collection delve into various aspects of Q1's Hamlet, including its performance, book history, Shakespeare's relationships with his contemporaries, and the broader trajectory of his career. By exploring these diverse perspectives, the volume aims to shed light on the various ways in which we can approach and appreciate this early version of one of Shakespeare's most celebrated works.
