Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Each age tends to reinvent Hamlet in its own image. This is no less true of the Victorians as anyone else. Not for them the effete melancholic of the Romantic age, defeated by the immensity of the task laid upon him. The Victorians wanted a strong Hamlet, and that is exactly what they gave us. The attempt of the Germans to appropriate a British national icon is finally beaten off by George Henry Lewes and others. In this age of Empire, we also have a recognition of the universality of Shakespeare's hero and his relevance for all cultures and conditions. This period was the high point of the play's popularity. For the Victorians Hamlet was a riddle, but one that the Victorians believed they could solve. In the pages of the current Critical Responses to Hamlet, we see writers bringing to bear various scientific approaches to its mysteries: textual, historical, and, above all, medical and psychological. The interest in abnormal states of mind and behavior drew writers to the play. Hamlet was not only reinvented in the Victorian scholar's study, but in the theater as well. A new Hamlet trod the boards in the shape of Henry Irving. many a time and oft attempting the role. At this time the French dared to claim this British national property as their own to the scorn of the British press. As extracts from contemporary newspapers and journals show, Hamlet was a lively and popular focus of interest. There is no better illustration of this than the extracts from the antipodean journal, The Argus, where we see correspondents from the far-flung gold-fields of Ballarat and elsewhere locked in critical debate on finer points of interpretation of Shakespeare's play. In this two-volume set we have the thoughts of the great Victorian novelists, George Eliot, Dickens, and Trollope, on the play. Perhaps only George Eliot and at this period could we have the appropriation of a potentially domestic, happily-married Hamlet seated at his fireside, with Ophelia as the angel of his house.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This third volume of Critical Responses covers the early Victorian years, when Hamlet was acclaimed from Cincinnati to Moscow and from London to Australia. The German contribution, already strong during the preceding generation of Romantics, was in full stride, and is given particular attention here. It was during these years that the triumph of Romanticism over the neo-classical strictures of Voltaire was achieved and Hamlet emerged, not as an irresolute weakling, but as a rational determined hero, restrained from the immediate accomplishment of his revenge simply by a need for certainty.

Book Synopsis "Hamlet" After Q1 by : Zachary Lesser
Download or read book "Hamlet" After Q1 written by Zachary Lesser and published by University of Pennsylvania Press. This book was released on 2015 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1823, Sir Henry Bunbury discovered a badly bound volume of twelve Shakespeare plays in a closet of his manor house. Nearly all of the plays were first editions, but one stood out as extraordinary: a previously unknown text of Hamlet that predated all other versions. Suddenly, the world had to grapple with a radically new—or rather, old—Hamlet in which the characters, plot, and poetry of Shakespeare's most famous play were profoundly and strangely transformed. Q1, as the text is known, has been declared a rough draft, a shorthand piracy, a memorial reconstruction, and a pre-Shakespearean "ur-Hamlet," among other things. Flickering between two historical moments—its publication in Shakespeare's early seventeenth century and its rediscovery in Bunbury's early nineteenth—Q1 is both the first and last Hamlet. Because this text became widely known only after the familiar version of the play had reached the pinnacle of English literature, its reception has entirely depended on this uncanny temporal oscillation; so too has its ongoing influence on twentieth- and twenty-first-century ideas of the play. Zachary Lesser examines how the improbable discovery of Q1 has forced readers to reconsider accepted truths about Shakespeare as an author and about the nature of Shakespeare's texts. In telling the story of this mysterious quarto and tracing the debates in newspapers, London theaters, and scholarly journals that followed its discovery, Lesser offers brilliant new insights on what we think we mean by Hamlet.
Book Synopsis Shakespeare and the Culture of Romanticism by : Joseph M. Ortiz
Download or read book Shakespeare and the Culture of Romanticism written by Joseph M. Ortiz and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-12-05 with total page 476 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The idea of Shakespearean genius and sublimity is usually understood to be a product of the Romantic period, promulgated by poets such as Coleridge and Byron who promoted Shakespeare as the supreme example of literary genius and creative imagination. However, the picture looks very different when viewed from the perspective of the myriad theater directors, actors, poets, political philosophers, gallery owners, and other professionals in the nineteenth century who turned to Shakespeare to advance their own political, artistic, or commercial interests. Often, as in John Kemble’s staging of The Winter’s Tale at Drury Lane or John Boydell’s marketing of paintings in his Shakespeare Gallery, Shakespeare provided a literal platform on which both artists and entrepreneurs could strive to influence cultural tastes and points of view. At other times, Romantic writers found in Shakespeare’s works a set of rhetorical and theatrical tools through which to form their own public personae, both poetic and political. Women writers in particular often adapted Shakespeare to express their own political and social concerns. Taken together, all of these critical and aesthetic responses attest to the remarkable malleability of the Shakespearean corpus in the Romantic period. As the contributors show, Romantic writers of all persuasions”Whig and Tory, male and female, intellectual and commercial”found in Shakespeare a powerful medium through which to claim authority for their particular interests.
