Critics' corner. 330 $aAims to introduce students (including those with little or no prior experience of the field) to the worlds of Shakespeare and his theatre revealed in Hamlet. It begins by Approaching Shakespeare as utterly a man of the theatre, a professional actor before he was a playwright and a resident dramatist who knew intimately the actors for whom he wrote. It continues by Approaching Hamlet in that light, and as a revenge tragedy deliberately overloaded with complications. The middle chapters look in detail at the Actors and Players of the drama, starting with the Ghost and ending with the best actors in the world, and at Shakespeare s favourite Acts and Devices as deployed within it. A final chapter considers Hamlet and Twelfth Night, written and premiered in close succession, as an unexpectedly resonant pair, a surprisingly funny revenge tragedy and a surprisingly bleak revenge comedy that for the first audiences would have complemented one another. The annotated Bibliography includes the current major editions of Hamlet, the major film-adaptations, and a selection of both the best criticism and the most useful websites." 410 0$aHumanities Insights 676 $a822.33 700 $aLennard$b John$01803886 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910967499003321 996 $aWilliam Shakespeare$94470733 997 $aUNINA
