This is that Hamlet the Dane, whom we read of in our youth, and whom we seem almost to remember in our after-years; he who made that famous soliloquy on life, who gave the advice to the players, who thought ‘this goodly frame, the earth, a steril promontory, and this brave o’er-hanging firmament, the air, this majestical roof fretted with golden fire, a foul and pestilent congregation of vapours;’* whom ‘man delighted not, nor woman neither;’* he who talked with the grave-diggers, and moralised on Yorick’s skull; the school-fellow of Rosencraus and Guildenstern at Wittenberg; the friend of H...

to the audience’s enjoyment. Nonetheless, the feeling of a rushed end remained to some extent. The play closed with Julia and Proteus (Mark Arends), standing diagonally across the stage, contemplating a tentative reconciliation that abided by the 2020 norms of social distancing. But, before that, had Sylvia really intended to kill Proteus, only to be prevented by Valentine (Michael Marcus) even as he offered to ‘give her’ to his friend? Was she in such a state of anger and shock that she didn’t really take in what he was saying, which is why she went off with him placidly? Who is Sylvia? Certa...

Automatic term extraction (ATE) is an important task within natural language processing, both separately, and as a preprocessing step for other tasks. In recent years, research has moved far beyond the traditional hybrid approach where candidate terms are extracted based on part-of-speech patterns and filtered and sorted with statistical termhood and unithood measures. While there has been an explosion of different types of features and algorithms, including machine learning methodologies, some of the fundamental problems remain unsolved, such as the ambiguous nature of the concept “term”. Th...

In the large body of scholarship devoted to the study of Shakespeare’s classical sources, a relatively small but distinguished segment deals with the direct or indirect influence of Attic tragedy on Shakespeare’s dramatic art. In spite of or even in accordance with the firmly established and widely accepted tenet of Senecan influence, scholars never cease to surprise us with new theories and findings about possible parallels between the tragedies of Shakespeare and those of Aeschylus, Sophocles or Euripides. The scope of such research may range from a philologically oriented critical revaluati...

This volume offers a detailed analysis of Hamlet from the perspective of an actor and director.

Abstract One argument for fictional realism, the view that there are such things as fictional characters, proceeds by arguing that we need to accept there are fictional characters in order to provide an adequate account of intuitively true and meaningful reports containing fictional names, reports such as »In Hamlet, Hamlet equivocates«. For, granted some plausible assumptions, it seems that the truth and meaningfulness of such reports requires that the names they contain genuinely refer to fictional characters. However I argue that the fictional realist herself faces problems providing an acc...

HAMLET is a CAD tool written in C that translates a user specification of a multiple-valued expression into a layout of amultiple-valued programmable logic array (MVL-PLA) which realizes that expression, and can apply search strategies based on these heuristics.

An unpublished short story by Sylvia Townsend Warner. It fancifully elaborates the story of Acts 4 and 5 of Hamlet, starting on board the ship taking Hamlet to England after the killing of Polonius. The story begins before the Danish vessel’s encounter with a pirate ship and Hamlet’s capture by the pirates, and imagines the circumstances by which he returns to Denmark in the changed state of mind in which we meet him in Act 5.

William Shakespeare emerged as a champion of dramatic art in his brilliant tragedies. Hamlet stands as a touchstone of his creative opus owing to its manifold themes and depiction of human conscience at work. The story of the tragic prince of Denmark is very enigmatic in nature. His is the saga of a creative and philosophic genius who had to undergo deeper pains to justify his existence in the not so sensitive world. That he wanted his story to be known to the posterity in its logical form and that he beseeched his confidante Horatio to live to narrate it so that he might not be misunderstood ...

A potential therapeutic role for HAMLET is suggested in repurposing antibiotics currently causing treatment failures in patients after it was shown that it potentiates the activities of macrolides and lincosamides more effectively than combination treatment with beta-lactams.

This study highlights the potential of HAMLET to synergize with amoxicillin in an ex-vivo model of the oral microbiome and modulate the proportion of probiotic bacteria.

Hamlet is well-known as the most famous tragedy written by William Shakespeare. This dramatic work has, throughout the centuries, lead numerous writers, poets, literary-critics and philosophers to think about universal issues of life, human nature, love, loyalty and friendship. Hamlet has not just been the subject of discussion from the point of view of the theory of literature and human psychology and philosophy, it has also directly inspired the creation of many artistic works. One of those works which forms the main subject-matter of this paper is the almost unknown music for ...

Hamlet has been such a mystery as Sir Philip speaks of—the mystery of its hero as a man and of its meaning as a poem. Within the play-poem itself is the mystery's motive and aura: the motive, as Francis Fergusson has said, of finding and destroying the "hidden imposthume" poisoning Claudius' Denmark, and the aura, to nearly everyone in the play, of Hamlet's inscrutable language of gesture and word. Those who have felt that Shakespeare is hiding occult truths under his surfaces of words, though they may not be sure what the truths are, have been right in their feeling about the nature of Hamlet...

This chapter evaluates Hamlet's memory and accomplishments as a historian. It begins with the “rights of memory” that Fortinbras asserts as he seizes power at the end of the play, and suggests that they reveal the expedience with which William Shakespeare's Danes relate to their past(s). The chapter then considers the vulnerability of memory, and the concomitant ease with which people forget. It also looks at how Hamlet might have seen his father in his “mind's eye,” and draws on the traditions of moral philosophy and Aristotelian psychology to explain how, throughout Hamlet, Shakespeare disti...

A new study of the most performed and studied of Shakespeare's tragedies by the editors of the new Arden Shakespeare Hamlet.

The text of this Second Edition is based on the second quarto (1604-1605), with occasional references to the folio. In order to help the reader place the play in the proper historical context, "Intellectual Backgrounds" includes important readings on melancholoy, demonology, the nature of man and death. Pre-Shakespearean accounts of the story of Hamlet are also included with extracts from Saxo Gramaticus' "Historica Danica" and Belleforest's "Histoires Tragiques". The editor has revised the "Criticism" section in order to accommodate significant interpretations published since the last edition...
