William Shakespeare's Hamlet is probably the bestknown and most commented upon work of literature in Western culture. The paradox is that it is at once utterly familiar and strangely elusivevery like our own selves, argues Gabriel Josipovici in this stimulating and original study. Moreover, our desire to master this elusiveness, to pluck the heart out of its mystery, as Hamlet himself says, precisely mirrors what is going on in the play; and what Shakespeare's play demonstrates is that to conceive human character (and works of art) in this way is profoundly misguided.Rather than rushing to conclusions or setting out a theory of what Hamlet is about, therefore, we should read and watch patiently and openly, allowing the play to unfold before us in its own time and trying to see each moment in the context of the whole. Josipovicis valuable book is thus an exercise in analysis which puts the physical experience of watching and reading at the heart of the critical processat once a practical introduction to a great and muchloved play and a sophisticated intervention in some of the key questions of theory and aesthetics of our time.
