Shakespeare, William Hamlet
Signet Classic 1998 0451526929 / 9780451526922 Paperback Fine
Shakespeare's classic tragedy of love, madness, and revenge was first enacted in London in 1602. Young Hamlet, Prince of Denmark, is in mourning for his dead father, is visited by his father's ghost telling him that he was murdered by his own brother, Claudius, who then assumed the throne and married Hamlet's mother, Gertrude. Intent on revenge, Hamlet feigns madness and plots to kill Claudius. When he accidentally stabs Polonius, Claudius's counselor, Hamlet is sent into exile-and Polonius's daughter, Ophelia, who had been in love with Hamlet, goes mad from grief and drowns herself. In the climax of the play, old scores are settled at last, and Hamlet's speaks his famous last words: "The rest is silence." Considered one of Shakespeare's greatest plays, HAMLET is part of the well-established tradition of "revenge tragedies" that were popular at the end of the Elizabethan era, but the play transcends all its influences in its examination of justice and duty, and as a subtle portrait of a sensitive young man torn between righteous revenge and his duty as a moral man. Appears unread. Storage wear only.

Shakespeare, William Love's Labour's Lost
Pocket Classics 1996 0671722743 / 9780671722746 Paperback Very Good
When the King of Navarre commits himself and his gentlemen-in-waiting, Longaville, Dumaine, and Berowne, to three years of secluded study, barring all interactions with women, he forgot that a French envoy consisting of the Princess of France and her three ladies-in-waiting, Maria, Katharine, and Rosaline, were imminently expected. The King agrees to temporarily relax his restrictions in the name of politics, but when the flirting begins, it's in the name of love that the King changes his policy altogether. As a scholarly atmosphere has been legislated by the King, much pedantic banter is exchanged. Indeed, among the themes the play explores is the conflict between true erudition and mere posturing. The overwrought language some of the characters use mocks sophistry and lampoons those who glean their knowledge from study instead of from life. Written around 1595, LOVE'S LABORS LOST has no known literary sources, but the political material in the play echoes events of the day, including the French Wars of Religion in which the real King of Navarre, who later became King Henri IV of France, participated. A masquerade featuring a group of gentlemen dressed as Russians (emulated in the drama by the gentlemen-in-waiting) occurred in 1594, no doubt inspiring Shakespeare's depiction. Records indicate that the play was performed for Queen Elizabeth's court in 1597, but it was likely performed even earlier. Documentation suggests it remained in favor well into the 17th century before becoming dormant for about 200 years. A play entitled LOVE'S LABOR'S WON is listed in an important catalogue of Shakespeare's works compiled in 1598. This counterpart may be a lost play, or another play, such as THE TAMING OF THE SHREW, listed under an alternative title. Slight spine creasing and slight cover wear. A very nice copy.
