Shakespeare intended his plays to be seen, not read. With this
thought uppermost in mind, Charney offers here a provocative
analysis of Hamlet, the most stylistically inventive of all
Shakespeare's plays, strictly in terms of its style-by which he
means the distinct modes of expression used by the playwright in
accomplishing his dramatic ends. Careful consideration is given to
the stagecraft of the play, to lighting and sound effects, gesture
and scenery. The play's imagery is discussed with attention to its
style as well as to its content. Each of the three main characters
is examined in terms of his unique mode of expression. Among the
interesting discoveries this approach allows is a new perspective
on the character of Hamlet, who is found to have four distinct
styles which he employs as the occasion demands. Originally
published in 1969. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest
print-on-demand technology to again make available previously
out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton
University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of
these important books while presenting them in durable paperback
and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is
to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in
the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press
since its founding in 1905.
