Synopsis
A Short Introduction To The Study Of Hamlet By R.W. Taylor — Robert West Taylor. This concise manual, prepared for the upper fifth form, offers a focused study of Shakespeare's Hamlet. It traces the story from Saxo Grammaticus and Belleforest to its English reception, notes the medieval sources behind the tragedy, and highlights the textual developments that illuminate Hamlet's character. The work surveys the principal figures—the unprincipled king and queen, Horatio as a foil, Polonius as meddler, Ophelia, Laertes, and Fortinbras—and discusses how Hamlet’s phlegmatic temperament and propensity for contemplation shape the action. It analyzes key scenes and themes, including the 'To be, or not to be' soliloquy, the 'play's the thing' conceit, revenge, conscience, and the tension between thought and action. The author also references German critic Gervinus to compare Hamlet with Orestes, underscoring the drama’s moral and dramatic aims.
