"William Shakespeare's Hamlet is probably the best-known and most commented upon work
of literature in Western culture. The paradox is that it is at once utterly familiar
and strangely elusive--very 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. Josipovici's
valuable book is thus an exercise in analysis which puts the physical experience of
watching and reading at the heart of the critical process--at once a practical introduction
to a great and much-loved play and a sophisticated intervention in some of the key
questions of theory and aesthetics of our time"
