Research bibliography
The bulk of HyperHamlet data derive either from electronic searches of text databases such as LION or from findings reported in extant research. This continuously updated bibliography lists the secondary literature that has been consulted to make Hamlet-related research results accessible that have been generated in very diverse periods, countries and academic communities.
The most important source are studies on the reception and influence of Hamlet and Shakespeare in general, including notes and prefaces in Hamlet editions.
Three other areas are of interest but yield data with less predictability:
- publications in the field of literary and cultural studies which discuss intertextuality in general or investigate the sources of texts that (happen to) quote or recycle Hamlet
- annotated editions of literary texts which indicate quotations in footnotes or indexes
- research in the linguistic fields of phraseology and paroemiology (proverb studies).
Accordingly, the bibliography below is structured as follows:
- Shakespeare studies (including Hamlet editions)
- Literary and cultural studies
- Annotated editions of texts that (happen to) quote Hamlet
- Linguistics (including dictionaries)
