Descrizione
Each volume in the Barnes & Noble Shakespeare includes:
New Scholarship – Premiere scholars introduce each play with contemporary scholarship. An essay on editing the text provides an in-depth look at the quartos and folios used in the edition.
Contextualizing Essays – Essays on Shakespeare’s England, language, and life, along with essays on performing Shakespeare and significant performances frame the play in both historical and theatrical context for readers. A look at the lasting influence of the play on music, art, film, and dance creates an interdisciplinary framework with which to approach the play.
Better Notes – Through one-word margin definitions, facing-page glosses, and longer end notes after the play, our innovative approach to notes pulls readers away from the text fewer times while providing them with more information and comprehensive analysis.
Further Reading – An annotated bibliography of titles, hand-selected by the introduction author, takes readers beyond the edition for further reading.
Shakespeare’s compelling treatment of guilt and revenge in Hamlet has fascinated playgoers and readers for 400 years. The editor, Jeff Dolven, brings a professional poet’s eye to the introduction and notes, providing a uniquely informative take on the play.

Eu me interessei em Hamlet, pq compre um livro do Leandro Karnal que fala sobre a peça num relato pessoal dele. Bem, se vc não está acostumado a ler um livro nesse estilo de leitura (peça teatral), terá uma certa dificuldade para prestar atenção. Nunca tinha lido um livro nesse estilo e encontrei certa dificuldades, mas resolvi persistir e aos poucos fui pegando o jeito. Mas nem tão cedo vou ler outro novamente. Enfim, a história em si é muito boa como todos que leem dizem que é. O Hamlet é de certa forma fala sobre amor, ódio e vingança e como cada personagem encara isso na história.
I was brought up reading Shakespeare from an early age as my late father was an English teacher and wanted me to be ‘well read’ and Macbeth was one of my favourites as he would sometimes read the parts with me in his Scottish accent. So when I saw that there were Manga versions of the Shakespeare plays I was curious as to how something that’s traditionally told on the stage would come across in this medium.
I loved it.
The artwork is so well done, and the language of William Shakespeare is woven well into the storytelling, I think these books would be perfect for students who were struggling with the more traditional methods of telling the tale of an overly ambitious laird who murders his way onto the Scottish crown. The emotions the characters experience are so vivid thanks to the style of the artwork and helped draw you into this centuries old tale.
These books should be available in every school library and are a fantastic way of telling stories that even after all these years still draw in so many readers or attendees of the plays in. Whether you’re new to the tales or not - I think these are a great read for any age.
