- Long title: "William Shakespeare: The Tragedie of Hamlet Prince of Denmarke. Ed. by J. Dover Wilson from the text of the second quarto printed 1604-05. "According to the true and perfect coppie". With which are also printed the Hamlet stories from Saxo Grammaticus and Belleforest and English translations therefrom." This probably means we should list this as a collection, instead of a chapterbook (e.g., see the page count).
