This volume gives readers the First Quarto text of 1603 and the Folio Text of 1623 modernised
and edited to the usual Arden standard. As a companion to the Second Quarto volume it will be
of particular interest to scholars and students of textual history or to anyone studying
Hamlet at an advanced level. Both plays are edited and annotated and the introduction contains
the fullest available stage history of the First Quarto text.
