Hamlet And The Vision Of Darkness by Rhodri Lewis, Paperback | Indigo Chapters

An acclaimed new interpretation of Shakespeare'sHamletHamlet and the Vision of Darknessis a radical new interpretation of the most famous play in the English language. By exploring Shakespeare's engagements with the humanist traditions of early modern England and Europe, Rhodri Lewis reveals aHamletunseen for centuries: an innovative, coherent, and exhilaratingly bleak tragedy in which the governing ideologies of Shakespeare's age are scrupulously upended. Recovering a work of far greater magnitude than the tragedy of a young man who cannot make up his mind, Lewis shows that inHamlet, as inKing Lear, Shakespeare confronts his audiences with a universe that received ideas are powerless to illuminate-and where everyone must find their own way through the dark. | Hamlet And The Vision Of Darkness by Rhodri Lewis, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
