Shakespeare: Hamlet (Landmarks of World Literature)
"Paul Cantor's Hamlet volume, part of the Cambridge Landmarks of World Literature series, provides a compelling interpretation that does not, as so many other readings, simply repeat the critical conundrums of the play and its prince. Cantor confronts the play's problems directly, defining them within the contexts of literary and cultural history...The book is intended primarily as a general introduction, but more experienced readers will find much to learn from Cantor's incisive formulations about Hamlet, its period, and dramatic tragedy."
