Hamlet Without Hamlet

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book challenges the common-place conception of Hamlet as an introverted figure, estranged from the world around him. It reveals the play as a drama of princely dispossession set in a volatile political context, whose concerns are crucially those of land and empire, inheritance and religion.
