      Description:Uncovers the mystery of both Prince Hamlet and the play, how both prince and drama are able to break through the conventions of theatrical mimesis and the representation of character, making us question the very nature of theatrical illusion.

      In the bestselling Shakespeare: The Invention of the Human, Harold Bloom showed us how Shakespeare shaped human consciousness, and addressed the question of authorship in Hamlet. In Hamlet: Poem Unlimited, America''s most celebrated critic turns his attention to a reading of the play itself and to Shakespeare''s most enigmatic and memorable character.

      This is Bloom''s attempt to uncover the mystery of both Prince Hamlet and the play, how both prince and drama are able to break through the conventions of theatrical mimesis and the representation of character, making us question the very nature of theatrical illusion.

      Hamlet: Poem Unlimited is a hugely insightful and yet highly accessible exploration of Shakespeare''s crowning achievement by a critic who is seen by many as his greatest living champion.
