I haven't read any of those. I am midway through the Jenkins edition of the Arden Hamlet. There's a third edition of the Arden Hamlet coming out, which will replace Jenkins. So I grabbed his while it's still in print. The new edition apparently has given up on trying to establish a definitive text and is giving three parallel texts. Which I think is nuts, personally. Plus Jenkins has extraordinarily good notes and an opening essay with some very interesting stuff, particularly his take on Ophelia, which he thinks everybody else has gotten wrong. (And yes, she was a virgin when she died, he says.) It's good stuff. Plus, I was reading in my chair on overlooking the water on this beautiful, calm, sunny afternoon. Reading The Small House at Allington there, which is my bedside book only is better than Hamlet for outdoor reading, where your concentration isn't quite as intense because you're forever looking up at seagulls, seals, our local eagle, sailboats and freighters going up the strait, etc. I'm working on some parallels between Hamlet and Antigone that are looking as though they might be quite interesting, and possibly worth an article.
