PRIMARY SOURCES

For William Shakespeare’s The Tragedy of Hamlet, Prince of Denmark, I referred to the earliest printed texts: First Quarto (Q1), Second Quarto (Q2) and First Folio (F1).

The Three-Text Hamlet (Bernice W. Kliman and Paul Bertram, eds., The Three-Text Hamlet: Parallel Texts of the First and Second Quartos and First Folio, 2nd ed. (New York: AMS Press, 2003) was the primary reference. Act and scene references generally follow Ann Thompson and Neil Taylor’s The Arden Shakespeare “Hamlet,” third series (Ann Thompson and Neil Taylor, eds., The Arden Shakespeare “Hamlet,” 3rd ser. London: Thomson Learning, 2007).

From the title-page of Q1: THE Tragicall Historie of HAMLET Prince of Denmarke, By William Shake-speare. As it hath beene diuerse times acted by his Highnesse seruants in the Cittie  of London: as also in the two Vniuersities of Cambridge and Oxford, and elsewhere … At London printed for N. L. and Iohn Trundell. 1603.

From the title-page of Q2:  THE Tragicall Historie of  HAMLET, Prince of Denmarke. By William Shakespeare. Newly imprinted and enlarged to almost as much againe as it was, according to the true and perfect Coppie. … AT LONDON, Printed by I. R. for N. L. … 1604.
