Hamlet's combination of violence and introspection is unusual among Shakespeare's tragedies. It is also full of curious riddles and fascinating paradoxes, making it one of his most widely discussed plays. Professor Hibbard's illuminating and original introduction explains the process by which variant texts were fused in the eighteenth century to create the most commonly used text of today. Drawing on both critical and theatrical history, he shows how this gusion makes Hamlet seem a much more 'problematic' play than it was when it originally appeared in the First Folio of 1623. The Oxford Shakespeare edition presents a radically new text, based on that First Folio, which printed Shakespeare's own revision of an earlier version. The result is a 'theatrical' and highly practical edition for students and actors alike.

La densidad emotiva de" Romeo y Julieta" es, probablemente, la causa de la fascinación que ha ejercido en todos los tiempos. Cuatro conceptos son determinantes en" Romeo y Julieta" : el Destino, los presagios que preludian un fin trafico; la Accion, propiciada por la enemistad de las dos familias y la precipitacion en las decisiones; el Amor, en continuo contraste con el odio; y la Muerte, como unica forma de perpetuar un amor que tan solo encuentra obstaculos a su paso.

William Shakespeare (1564-1616), el poeta de Stratfordon-Avon, es quizás el dramaturgo más importante de todos los tiempos. Las notas sobresalientes de su teatro son: su magistral dominio de la técnica teatral, el poder de sus personajes y una probada objetividad, desligada de todo sentimentalismo. Romeo y Julieta es una de las obras mas conocidas y peor entendidas. En ella Shakespeare hace una critica feroz del amor, presentando a unos inmaduros amantes que mueren empujados al margen del conflicto familiar por su propia inconsciencia.

The little Love-god lying once asleep,Laid by his side his heart-inflaming brand,Whilst many nymphs that vowd chaste life to keepCame tripping by; but in her maiden handThe fairest votary took up that fireWhich many legions of true hearts had warmd;

Los Sonetos, publicados en 1609, cumplen con las exigencias formales del soneto inglés, derivado del petrarquismo, y aunque difieren de los escritos por predecesores y contemporáneos, el tema predominante es el amor. En estas composiciones en apariencia dedicadas a un joven y a una ▒dama oscura♀, Shakespeare despoja al soneto del componente de artificio que lo habia marcado durante siglos e incorpora la ironia, la ambivalencia emocional y los motivos universales del amor: el sufrimiento, los celos, los reproches, las traiciones, el hastio, la melancolia incurable, etc
