- Summary:
- This book studies the questions of authority and authorship in William Shakespeare's problematic masterpiece Hamlet. It argues that the Bard seeks to eternalize himself through his play, that Hamlet dramatizes the authorial quest for sempiternity. As the epigraph to this book indicates, authors have since the age of the pyramids - and probably before it - sought to live forever. Shakespeare was no exception.
