Book Description
Excerpt from The Mystery of Hamlet: An Attempt to Solve an Old Problem The views set forth in this little work not only suffer from the lack of literary experience upon the part of him by whom they are presented, but they are in themselves so different from those which have usually been held in relation to the character of Hamlet, that but little favor can be hoped for them. That most will pass them by in silence, and that some will crush them beneath the weight of their scorn, may be expected. No theory could offer a more inviting target for the shafts of ridicule; none could, at first sight, seem more absurd. If true, why has no one seen the truth before? Who can tell! The art of Shakespeare was used to reveal the character yet conceal its real nature. Many have seen something of the truth, but stopped just short of discovery. All have recognized the human character of Hamlet, and yet all have failed to discern the true type of that humanity through the disguises by which it was clothed. The new may be true. Even that which at first seems an absurdity may, upon investigation, prove to be the sober reality. It is something to see, or to believe that one sees the path that Shakespeare followed, - to observe how difficulties were met, - how, with the growth of his power, he learned to substitute Hamlet's inherent personality as the origin of the prolongation of the movement of the drama, for the extraneous events which, in its earlier form, were the causes of the delay.

Book Description
Excerpt from Irving as Hamlet Among the commonest examples of that cant of criticism which Sterne found so offensive, is the assertion that Shakspeare is for the closet rather than the stage. If a dramatic reporter has no other exordium ready, he always begins with that. If, incapable of giving an idea of the performance he should describe, he desires to convey to his readers an impression of himself as a "superior person," he adheres throughout his article to the notion that Shakspeare is unactable, or at least is better understood when only read, and probably imposes upon many. For a, lazy age, going to the theatre is too tiresome; for a gaudy and frivolous generation anything better than opera bouffe is too slow. It is an easy escape to say that there is no acting now-a-days, and that if there were it would be wasted on a dramatist too grand to be acted. But this is never said or believed by those who have studied Shakspeare both in the library and in the theatre. And least of a all can it be said or believed of "Hamlet."

Excerpt from The Human Mystery in Hamlet: An Attempt to Say an Unsaid Word; With Suggestive Parallelisms IT would seem to be the duty of one who proposes to discuss the theme of Hamlet to begin with an apology. Every one who rises to speak in a debate which has continued for over one hun dred years ought humbly to crave the indulgence of his audience and preface his remarks with a declaration of his willingness to vote in favor of a motion for the previous question.

Book Description
Excerpt from Shakespeare's "Hamlet" The theory of Hamlet, which I state in the second chapter of this book, was first suggested to me by a performance of the play which Mr. William Poel gave some years before the war in the Little Theatre. It left out a good deal of the play and was imperfect in execution; but it seemed to me right in conception, and suddenly I understood Hamlet, or thought I did, and saw that it was not a puzzle but a masterpiece. I then tried to explain my understanding in an analysis of the play, but did not publish it because, I thought, enough and more than enough had been written about Hamlet. I am provoked to publish it now, after rewriting it, by the theories of Mr. J. M. Robertson and Mr. T. S. Eliot, with which I deal in my first chapter and which imply, or assert, that Hamlet is not a master piece at all, but an accident or a failure.
