Due to the survival of three early, distinct versions of the text of Hamlet, the process of editing 'Hamlet' has required its editors to consider which of the texts - known as Quarto 1 (Q1), Quarto 2 (Q2), or Folio (F) - is truly 'authoritative'. For the Arden Third Series edition of Hamlet, editors Ann Thompson and Neil Taylor chose to reject the traditions of elevating one text above the others or creating a composite text from all three versions. The Folio text of 1623 contains a number of stage directions and lines of dialogue not seen in the other texts.
