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 satirical play that parodies William Shakespeare’s famous tragedy, Hamlet. The book is divided into three acts and is written in a humorous and irreverent style. The play is filled with puns, jokes, and witty wordplay that poke fun at the original text. The burlesque annotations are written in the style of Dr. Johnson and George Steevens, two famous Shakespearean commentators. These annotations provide additional commentary on the play and add to the overall comedic tone of the book. Hamlet Travestie is a unique and entertaining take on Shakespeare’s classic play that is sure to delight readers who enjoy satire and parody.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
