Drawing on recent advances in historical knowledge, the author describes contemporary attitudes toward issues such as rebellion, conscience, regicide, incest, retribution, and mourning.

Seller's Description:
VG-(DJ has watermark on interior side but looks good from the outside; book itself is clean. ) Rust colored cloth, red-brown & illus. dust jacket, 398 pp., BW illus. "This authoritative and fascinating reappraisal of Hamlet reveals it to be even more exciting and rewarding than modern readers and playgoers realize. Since 1600, much of the play's original significance has been lost. Here a well-known scholar reconstructs Shakespeare's cultural milieu, showing what reactions he could expect from his audiences and why they found Hamlet so intensely stirring. [This] richly illustrated book will interest the general reader as well as the specialist." (dj).
