About this Item
Presentation copy of a psychiatrist's challenge to Sarah Bernhardt's upbeat 1899 interpretation of the role of Hamlet. Blue printed paper wrappers; loss to the edges of the upper cover and one corner of the lower cover. Inscribed by the author 'Bien sympathique hommage E Regis' with the dedicatee's name cut away from the top of the first page. pp12, offprint from the Revue Philomathique de Bordeaux. OCLC locates offprint in Angers and Yale only. Emmanuel Regis (1855-1918) studied medicine in Paris where he became Professor at the Saine Anne Psychiatric Hospital. It is on this professional experience that he draws for his understanding of Hamlet: 'le type de ces neurastheniques a pessimise misanthropique.' Having recently attended Bernhardt's performance in Bordeaux he challenges her famously youthful and energetic reading of the tragic Prince whilst still admiring it as 'tres remarquable, je le repete.'
