The Works of William Shakespeare [Cambridge Edition] [Vol. 8 of 9]
The eighth volume of the Cambridge Shakespeare, edited by William George Clark and William Aldis Wright and published in 1866, contains Hamlet and King Lear. Each play is given with a full collation of the early quartos and folios in footnotes, followed by the editors' notes on disputed readings, and Hamlet is accompanied by a complete reprint of the 1603 first quarto, the short and garbled text rediscovered in 1823, so that the two versions can be compared. The Cambridge edition fixed the text and the act and scene numbering that most later editions followed, and this volume is a working tool for readers who want to see how the plays were put together. It is available to read online in your browser on Vinteuil, with the first act free.
