Providing a wealth of insight, information and analysis, Hamlet: York Notes Advanced is a comprehensive study resource which provides the knowledge and understanding you’ll need in order to perform at the highest level in an English Literature A Level examination or undergraduate essay.
Examiners will award the highest marks to candidates who can demonstrate in their answers and essays that they understand and can discuss, using appropriate evidence, aspects of the play such as whether Hamlet is genuinely mad or merely feigning madness, why Shakespeare includes comic scenes within a tragedy or the wider significance of the play’s recurring references to health, disease and physical decay.
York Notes’ Hamlet revision bundle, consisting of the print and online study guides, represents the most complete study and revision aid for what is arguably Shakespeare’s greatest play. Comprehensive and detailed analysis of the text and its themes, characters, events, language and context are coupled with useful tools to help you create essays that will demonstrate your understanding of Hamlet and allow you to earn the highest grade you can at English Literature A Level.

How this book came into existence.
I have been running teacher-training workshops on Shakespeare for years and was talking to a British Council Conference in Oxford about the highs and lows. I mentioned the sad prevalence of study AIDS amongst A-level students and how hard one had to work to steer students clear of pre-digested responses to the plays, their characters and Shakespeare's methods. A tactful publisher observed to me afterwards that since study AIDS wouldn't go away why didn't I try to write a goodish one to help limit the damage? This book was the result of that attempt: the most author-demanding textbook Lynn & I have written. Pruning seven hundred pages to just a hundred a fifty... What is there? As accurate a synopsis as we could manage, scene summaries and commentaries which attempt to point the way discussion might develop; some preliminary textual analyses for students to build on. We hope this will be a useful workbook for students to access alongside their studies of the play rather than read only at the revision stage (or instead of working the text at all).
