{"product_id":"hamlet-folger-library-shakespe","title":"HAMLET ( FOLGER LIBRARY SHAKESPE","description":"Hamlet: An UPDATED EDITION from the Folger Shakespeare Library\nHamlet is Shakespeare's most popular, and most puzzling, play. It follows the form of a \"revenge tragedy,\" in which the hero, Hamlet, seeks vengeance against his father's murderer, his uncle Claudius, now the king of Denmark. Much of its fascination, however, lies in its uncertainties.\n\nAmong them: What is the Ghost--Hamlet's father demanding justice, a tempting demon, an angelic messenger? Does Hamlet go mad, or merely pretend to? Once he is sure that Claudius is a murderer, why does he not act? Was his mother, Gertrude, unfaithful to her husband or complicit in his murder?\n\nThe authoritative edition of Hamlet from The Folger Shakespeare Library, the trusted and widely used Shakespeare series for students and general readers, includes:\n\n-Freshly edited text based on the best early printed version of the play\n-Newly revised explanatory notes conveniently placed on pages facing the text of the play\n-Scene-by-scene plot summaries\n-A key to the play's famous lines and phrases\n-An introduction to reading Shakespeare's language\n-An essay by a leading Shakespeare scholar providing a modern perspective on the play\n-Fresh images from the Folger Shakespeare Library's vast holdings of rare books\n-An up-to-date annotated guide to further reading\n\nEssay by Michael Neill\n\nEnjoy this updated Folger edition of Hamlet in either the handy pocket-sized mass market paperback (ISBN 978-0743477123), elegant trade paperback featuring finer paper and wider margins (ISBN 978-1451669411), or Kindle edition (ASIN B00IWTWDA6).\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 074347712X\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: 31UF1U001NLM_ns\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Shakespeare, William|Mowat, Dr. Barbara A.|Werstine Ph.D., Paul\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Mass market paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Mass market paperback in GOOD condition with normal wear from use.
