Lewis Rhodri - Hamlet And The Vision Of Darkness - Paperback

Binding: Paperback
Description: An acclaimed new interpretation of Shakespeare's Hamlet Hamlet and the Vision of Darkness is a radical new interpretation of the most famous play in the English language. By exploring Shakespeare's engagements with the humanist traditions of early modern England and Europe Rhodri Lewis reveals a Hamlet unseen for centuries: an innovative coherent and exhilaratingly bleak tragedy in which the governing ideologies of Shakespeare's age are scrupulously upended. Recovering a work of far greater magnitude than the tragedy of a young man who cannot make up his mind Lewis shows that in Hamlet as in King Lear Shakespeare confronts his audiences with a universe that received ideas are powerless to illuminate and where everyone must find their own way through the dark.
