Farnham, William, ed. The Pelican Shakespeare: William Shakespeare: Hamlet Prince of Denmark. London, Penguin Books, 1957. Essays by Alfred Harbage and William Farnham, with notes on the text, the text itself, and an appendix that lists departures from the text of the 1604-1605 Quarto
Spencer, T.J.B., ed., with an introduction by Anne Barton. William Shakespeare: Hamlet. London, Penguin Books, 1980. Barton’s essay on historical sources and the revenge motif, the text itself, an extensive commentary that includes Quarto 1, Quarto 2, the first Folio, and Biblical cites from the Bishop’s Bible 1568, and an Account of the Text that shows how the editor put it all together.
