Présentation de l'éditeur
The more I read him, the more I am convinced that as he knew his own particular Talent well, he study dmore to work up great and moving Circumstances to place his chief Characters in, so as to affect our Passions strongly, he apply dhimself more to This than he did to the Means or Methods whereby he brought his Characters into those Circumstances. Some Remarks on the Tragedy of Hamlet (1736), p. 55. It may be safely asserted that the simpler explanations are, and the less they are biased by the subtleties of the philosophical critics, the more likely they are to be in unison with the intentions of the author. Halliwell-P hillips, Memoranda on the Tragedy of Hamlet (1879), p. 13. But for all that he or Hamlet has got by it i.e., the dramatists effort to avoid fthe impression of a weakness in him, Shakespeare might too evidently have spared his pains, and for all this voice i.e., Swinburne sown as of one crying in a wilderness, Hamlet will too surely remain to the majority of students, not less than to all actors and all editors and all critics, the standing type and embodied emblem of irresolution, half-heartedness, and doubt. Swinburne, AS tudy of Shakespeare
