Summary
This British Library site provides context and scanned images of the 1603 first quarto printing of "The Tragedy of Hamlet." This printing is often called the "bad quarto" because of its dubious provenance; it is likely that one or more of the actors assisted in producing this text as an unapproved piracy.
