Footnotes
"Hamlet must be rediscovered and reimagined in every generation... the work of book-designers and artists, too, can influence the way we see him" (John Gielgud, foreword). The bas-relief on the cover is a recasting of the reclining figure portion of "Relief: Three Quarters Mother and Child and Reclining Figure" (cf. A. Bowness, Henry Moore - Complete Sculpture. Volume 5, 1974-1980, 1983, no. 728).
