Hamlet, Prince of Denmark: A Novel Interpretation

By C.J. Martin and William Shakespeare

Hamlet, Prince of Denmark: A Novel Interpretation(Annotated)This fully annotated interpretation of Shakespeare's Hamlet, in the form of a historical novel, presents events from before the play opens, narrates and interprets the dialogue and speeches of Shakespeare's Hamlet itself, and fills in gaps in Shakespeare's plot.William Shakespeare's fascinating yet difficult play of Hamlet is about four hours of spoken dialogue, and covers events that occur over several months. The text has ambiguities in meaning, large gaps between events, and allusions to events that have occurred before the play opens. The play therefore raises many questions.Here, C. J. Martin explains the difficulties, and makes what seems inconsistent or contradictory as consistent as possible. 675 endnotes are also included to explain Shakespeare's text.ABOUT THE AUTHORC. J. Martin has a BA, an MA (English and History) and a PhD (History) from the University of Sydney, and a GradDipEd. C. J. Martin currently works in the field of Education, and also has a background in theatre.
