John Mills spotlights the various ways in which the role of Hamlet
has been performed over almost four centuries. He launches this
work with the first Hamlet portrayal, that of Richard Burbage, and
then, in chronological order, describes and analyzes the Hamlets of
the other actors who make up the great tradition of
English-language Shakespeare acting. Mills devotes an entire
chapter to each actor, focusing on acting style, text
interpretation, theatrical and critical influences, popular and
critical responses, and more. He offers a scene-by-scene account of
the central figure's performance, with special emphasis on business
and line-readings.
