First edition of this translation.

Anna Radlova (1891–1949), a poet, literary salon-holder, and wife of Sergei Radlov, the theatre director, prepared the translation of this book. Her Shakespeare translations of Romeo and Juliet (1933), Othello (1935), and Hamlet (1937) were highly popular in the early 1930s and were used in the theatre productions by her husband in the Leningrad Malyi Theater. Radlova's translations were considered innovative and precise, and Boris Pasternak, the next translator of Hamlet, admired her work for its authenticity. During World War II, Anna and her husband were evacuated from Leningrad to the North Caucasus and later ended up in Germany. In 1945 after returning they were accused of treason. Anna Radlova died in a GULAG.

She signed this book to her younger sister, the well-known sculptor and ceramist Sarra Lebedeva (1892–1967), who taught at the Free Art Studios and the Steiglitz Institute in Petrograd. Lebedeva was acquainted with many famous figures, including Tatlin, Malevich, Altman, Gorky, Blok, Mayakovsky, Meyerhold, and others. She is known for her portrait sculptures of Felix Dzerzhinsky, Vera Mukhina, Aleksandr Tvardovsky, Vsevolod Ivanov, among others. Lebedeva also created the profile image of Boris Pasternak, a lifelong friend, which graces his grave marker at Peredelkino.
