This 275-page resource supports teachers and students working towards AP, IB andGCE A Level examinations. It is a line-by-line analysis of the play at a level, and in a manner, that all senior students will find accessible and engaging. It asks, of each scene, ‘What’s really happening here?’ and offers detailed answers – while challenging students, by means of brief but penetrating writing tasks, to find answers of their own.

It also includes an extensive essay bank of questions in the style of A Level, AP and IB written examinations.

It is available in both a Student Edition (this one) and a Teaching Copy (with a separate Answers section at the end).

Both Word and .pdf versions have been included to allow maximum flexibility, and they can be used alongside any edition of the play, thanks to the running line references in the margins.

(From an official AP Central Teachers’ Resources review) "The guide’s inquisitive spirit and sharp, intelligent attention to the play’s language and to theatrical features and ‘mechanics’ - pacing, silences, and staging possibilities - set this guide way above the ordinary.

“Another difference [from other Shakespeare Guides] is the personal voice assumed here – reassuring, conversational, encouraging. It’s almost as if the guides were designed to function in the phantom-teacher atmosphere of an online course.”

A Library Edition (paperback) has recently been published under the title ‘Study Guide: A Hamlet Commentary: Student Edition’ and with the ISBN 979-8606091416 (enter in any Amazon Search box).
