Description
Mimetic Depth in Hamlet explores the enduring relevance of William Shakespeare's tragic masterpiece. More than 400 years after its composition, the play's ideas remain novel and continue to shape contemporary discussions about human behavior and intelligence.
The book delves into the conceptual understanding of character dynamics that underpin the play, tracing a common thread through chapters on the play's conception, early modern English poetics, and an analysis of Shakespeare's thinking on interpretation and character.
