This Unit involves an in-depth study of Hamlet. Particular emphases are placed on the interpretative history of the play, in both discursive and creative forms, and on the textual problems which the play presents. The unit examines intertextual Shakespeare by way of a number of categorizations current in literary study including history, gender, and genre. The last mentioned includes Shakespeare and poetry, Shakespeare and the Novel and Shakespeare and Film. Specific texts studied will vary from year to year.
