Introduction to the Modern Enfolded Hamlet

Jesús Tronch
(Universitat de València)

The Modern Enfolded Hamlet offers a critical and modern-spelling edition of the Second Quarto Hamlet that "enfolds" material variants in the First Folio (also modernized and critically edited). The "enfolding" principles and conventions are those explained by Bernice W. Kliman in her Introduction to The Enfolded Hamlet. 

The present edition has been prepared by Jesús Tronch (with the support of Plan Nacional I+D+I through the research project Artelope FFI 2009-12730, and CSD2009-00033) and supervised by Bernice W. Kliman.

How to read the Modern Enfolded Hamlet

  • Curly brackets ({ }) and green = readings unique to edited Q2
  • Pointed brackets (< >) and purple = readings unique to edited F1

    •       To unfold the edited Q2 version, read everything except text between pointed brackets.
          To unfold edited F1, read everything except the Q2-only text between curly brackets.

  • Slash (/) and monosapce typeface = readings that are optional or alternative
    • For instance, in 79 “ He smote the sledded pole-axe / Polacks on the ice”, both edited Q2 and edited F1 can be read with either “pole-axe” or “Polacks”.
    In 313 “this too too {sallied/sullied} <solid> flesh”, readers can opt for reading “sallied” or “sullied” when unfolding edited Q2.

  • Letter T next to the Through Line Number  on the left = signal to a significant emendation or modernization in both edited Q2 and edited F1 (for details, see the Material Notes, which can be accessed by clicking the TLN link on the left; see also the Textual Notes at the end of this Introduction)

  • Square brackets ( [ ] ) = editorial additions


    • Editorial procedures

    This edition is envisaged as a complement to the Hamlet Works database so that readers can access and search an enfolded text of Hamlet in the form they usually find in most critical editions: in modern spelling and punctuation, free of inadequate and improbable readings, and with a number of stage directions and speech prefixes regularized and supplemented.

    Editorial interventions follow a conservative approach to emending the text and to supplementing stage directions in Q2 and F1. Readings in the early texts are emended whenever they fail to offer a reasonable or probable meaning in their immediate context. Readers are alerted to emendations in the dialog by means of the letter T next to the TLN on the left. Editorial additions in stage directions, enclosed in square brackets, seek to clarify the action when a role that takes part in a scene is not included, exits without an explicit direction, speaks exclusively to another character or speaks to himself in an aside, or performs some stage business that is difficult for a reader to infer from the dialog itself.

    Spelling and punctuation is modernized by basically following the principles proposed by Stanley Wells in Modernizing Shakespeare's Spelling (Clarendon Press, 1979, pp. 3-36) and Re-Editing Shakespeare for the Modern Reader (Clarendon Press, 1984, pp. 5-31). However, this edition prints "-ed" endings as such when they are sounded (rather than as "-èd"), and silently expands elisions within words in the early texts (e.g. "medicine" from Q2's "medcine" 3795 rather than "med'cin"). In a few points where Wells suggests avoiding antique spellings (e.g. "porpentine" vs. "porcupine"), this edition the unfamilar form alongside the more current form as an optional reading (see TLN 709).
    Proper names such as “Gertrard”, “Rosencraus”, “Guyldenstern”, “Ostricke”, “Valtemand”, and “Elsonoure” are regularized to “Gertrard”, “Rosencrantz”, “Guildenstern”, “Osric”, “Voltemand” and “Elsinore” respectively.
    As for lineation, this edition does not follow the tradition, initiated by v1793, of indenting short lines to complete a larger regular line, usually a pentameter.

    Textual notes for the Modern Enfolded Hamlet

    The following textual notes record verbal departures in the critical and modern-spelling enfolded Hamlet (hereafter modEH) from both Q2, its copy-text, including the so called optional readings that follow a slash and are printed in a monospace font. These notes do no record modEH deviations from either Q2 or F1 in modernization of spelling and punctuation (unless they are noteworthy) and typographical matters such as turned letters that result in non-words. Some readings from Q1 and Q3 are also recorded when they are significant for editorial decision.

    The standard textual note has the following structure:

    56 harrows] F1; horrowes Q2; horrors Q1

    TLN lemma] siglum; variant siglum

    The Through Line Number (TLN) of Charlton Hinman's First Folio facsimile published by Norton is also keyed to both the Enfolded Hamlet and modEH. The lemma replicates the modEH reading in question, and is followed by a closing square bracket. The siglum indicates the source of the previous reading. Variants (and their sigla) are separated by semi-colons.

    Sigla are keyed to the list at "Bibliography of Editions" in Hamlet Works at

    http://triggs.djvu.org/global-language.com/ENFOLDED/edbib2.html

    Commas after sigla are used to separate variants or sigla of editions when differences involve modernization issues or inessential details.

    Editorial comments always follow the siglum or sigla. Original readings included in these comments are enclosed by quotation marks.

    Parentheses following sigla include editorial comments, such as “(conj. Collier)”


    Changes in lineation are recorded by including the first word of the lines involved separated by a vertical stroke “|”, as in the next example,

    664] F1; It . . . | Goe Q2

    This notes explains that F1 as one line what Q2 prints as two verse lines beginning with “It” and “Goe.” Rearrangement of lineation may also be indicated in editorial comments (e.g. “as prose”, “one line”).



    Abbreviations and symbols used:

    “conj.” as in “conj. Collier” indicates that an emendation was first conjectured by a scholar but not adopted

    “om.” indicates that the lemma is not in the edition

    “SD” indicates “stage direction”

    “SP” indicates “speech prefix”

    “subst.” indicates that the edition cited differs in wording from the lemma but not in an essential way.

    Vertical stroke “|” indicates the point of line division
