Book Overview

Hamlet - Abridged for Schools and Performance

This abridged edition of Hamlet has been created specifically for use in schools, making Shakespeare's longest and most challenging tragedy more accessible to students while preserving the power of the original story.

All the essential elements of the play remain intact: the plot and subplots remain coherent, characters are fully developed, and Shakespeare's original language is retained throughout. The major speeches most commonly studied in English lessons have been left untouched.

Ideal for classroom study, dramatic exploration, and performance, this edition provides a version of Hamlet that students can engage with and enjoy while still supporting detailed secondary school English analysis.

About William Shakespeare

William Shakespeare was born in April 1564 in the town of Stratford-upon-Avon, on England's Avon River. When he was eighteen, he married Anne Hathaway. The couple had three children--an older daughter Susanna and twins, Judith and Hamnet. Hamnet, Shakespeare's only son, died in childhood. The bulk of Shakespeare's working life was spent in the theater world of London, where he established himself professionally by the early 1590s. He enjoyed success not only as a playwright and poet, but also as an actor and shareholder in an acting company. Although some think that sometime between 1610 and 1613 Shakespeare retired from the theater and returned home to Stratford, where he died in 1616, others believe that he may have continued to work in London until close to his death.
