Nineteenth Century Romanticism and the Importance of William Shakespeare's Hamlet

Number of Pages 5

In five pages this report considers this topic within the context of Northrop Frye's observation that William Shakespeare's Hamlet was the 'central and most significant play, because it dramatized a central preoccupation of the age of Romanticism: the conflict of consciousness and action...No other play has explored the paradoxes of action and thinking about action so deeply.' Five sources are cited in the bibliography.
