Subject:        Q: Texts
 
Do unedited Folio and Quarto texts exist in some freely downloadable electronic
form somewhere? I'm looking specifically for the F and Q2 Hamlets.

I am co-directing AYLI at at HS in Virginia.  We are changing the forest of
Arden into a more contemporary urban ghetto setting, with a directorial
emphasis on the "character building benefits of adversity". One problem we are
finding is how to translate the shepherd references in the story.  I want to
leave them intact; letting them stand as analogies (for ex. if Corin were to
become a street preacher, "flock" has applicable Christian references.  If you
have any ideas or comments I'd love to hear from you.
