Meld je aan bij LibraryThing om erachter te komen of je dit boek goed zult vinden. Op dit moment geen Discussie gesprekken over dit boek. A decent "trial" of Hamlet, who was complicit in the deaths of Claudius, Gertrude, Ophelia, Laertes, and Rosencrantz and Guildenstern. The judges (two "real" ones and a Shakespearean scholar) ask mostly pertinent questions, but with the text being silent on so many points, the answers are mere speculation. There's not much of a final ruling which is slightly disappointing. Included with the transcript of the oral argument are the briefs and a full copy of the text of Hamlet.

Is een commentaar op de tekst van
"The night of 11 October 1994, before a packed house of law and literature buffs, the Association of the Bar of the City of New York retried the late prince of Denmark before a three-judge appellate panel." "The case was an attempt to overturn Hamlet's original conviction for no fewer than six homicides (those of Claudius, Polonius, Laertes, Rosenkrantz, Guildenstern, and Ophelia) following his recovery from the poisoned sword wound received in his duel with Laertes. Already having served four hundred years of a life sentence, the melancholy Dane was ultimately acquitted of some of his charges - but not until the American justice system had battled wits with Shakespeare in a hilarious yet illuminating examination of one of literature's most beloved and perplexing characters." "The Elsinore Appeal: People v. Hamlet contains all transcripts and briefs relating to the hearing, as well as the most incriminating document in the case: the complete text of Shakespeare's play."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
