Description
Gabriel Josipovici's Hamlet Fold on Fold is a thought-provoking study that explores the enduring complexities of Shakespeare's most famous play. By examining our desire to grasp and understand this elusive work, Josipovici reveals how our attempts to master its mystery are often misguided. Rather than rushing to conclusions or setting out a theory, Josipovici advocates for a more patient and open approach, allowing the play to unfold in its own time while considering each moment within the context of the whole. This book offers a practical introduction to Hamlet, as well as a sophisticated intervention into key questions of literary theory and aesthetics. Through its analysis, Hamlet Fold on Fold puts the physical experience of watching and reading at the heart of the critical process, making it an invaluable resource for anyone looking to deepen their understanding of this iconic play.
