Praise and Raves
“An attractive edition of the play . . . a provocative view of Elizabethan society spiced with an entertaining dash of Arthur Conan Doyle."—Kirkus Discoveries
“I'm enjoying Marlowe and Shakespeare's Hamlet very much. . . . It makes me realize how mysterious and complicated that world was, how unbelievably brilliant in language. And I've take a much greater fondness for Marlowe than ever before.”—Robert Bly, poet and author
“Before this book, nobody has so solidly situated Marlowe in his artistic and political milieu. And no one else so gently leads one to the conclusion that Marlowe was the hidden hand behind Shakespeare. To call his argument persuasive is too weak. The reader just arrives at a new place in understanding as if the journey was inevitable,” —Mike Rubbo, prize-winning film director of Much Ado About Something. “Your new book on Marlowe and Shakespeare is enormously impressive as a detective work in literature. Your analysis of Hamlet is remarkable. . . . breathtakingly imaginative.” —Howard Zinn, historian and author of A People’s History of the United States
“Alex Jack’s edition of Hamlet is lovingly and comprehensively written and takes the reader, the scholar, or layperson deep into Elizabethan and Jacobean life. It is the best book available on the Marlowe/Shakespeare problem, bar none.”—John Baker, researcher, lecturer, and writer on the Shakespeare authorship controversy

Alex Jack, the editor, has taught and written widely about literature, history, and the healing arts. His books include The Mozart Effect (with Don Campbell), The Cancer-Prevention Diet (with Michio Kushi), and The Adamantine Sherlock Holmes. His earlier medical study of Hamlet showed that blank verse accords with the heartbeat and enhances cardiovascular health.
