Description
Hamlet Travestie, In Three Acts: With Burlesque Annotations, After The Manner Of Dr. Johnson And George Steevens And The Various Commentators (1814) by John Poole is a humorous retelling of William Shakespeare's famous play, Hamlet. The book is divided into three acts, each with its own set of burlesque annotations that parody the style of Dr. Johnson, George Steevens, and other commentators of Shakespeare's work. The story follows the same basic plot as the original play, with Hamlet seeking revenge on his uncle for killing his father and taking the throne. However, Poole adds his own comedic twists to the story, such as making Hamlet a bumbling fool and adding absurd characters like a drunken gravedigger. The burlesque annotations are a prominent feature of the book, providing humorous commentary on the original text and poking fun at the various interpretations and analyses of Shakespeare's work. The annotations also include references to contemporary events and personalities, adding an additional layer of humor for readers of the time. Overall, Hamlet Travestie is a witty and irreverent take on one of Shakespeare's most famous plays, providing a lighthearted and entertaining alternative to the original.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
