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.

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.

Making a unique intervention in an incipient but powerful resurgence of academic interest in character-based approaches to Shakespeare, this book brings scholars and theatre practitioners together to rethink why and how character continues to matter. Contributors seek in particular to expand our notions of what Shakespearean character is, and to extend the range of critical vocabularies in which character criticism can work. The return to character thus involves incorporating as well as contesting postmodern ideas that have radically revised our conceptions of subjectivity and selfhood. At the same time, by engaging theatre practitioners, this book promotes the kind of comprehensive dialogue that is necessary for the common endeavor of sustaining the vitality of Shakespeare's characters.

Drawing on recent advances in historical knowledge, the author describes contemporary attitudes toward issues such as rebellion, conscience, regicide, incest, retribution, and mourning. His investigation reveals a number of convincing new reasons for viewing Hamlet not as an irresolute young man but as a vigorous and determined figure in confrontation with the moral dilemmas of his age. By understanding the play in its original terms, we find that it takes on new depth and power for our own time. Originally published in 1984. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press.
