Ebook Shakespeare's "Hamlet"

Be based on a misunderstanding, not only of this play, but of the whole nature of art; and I am convinced by other criticism which I have read, that such misunderstanding is a common obstacle to the experience of art. I have therefore added a last chapter on Hamlet as an aesthetic document. I must make general acknowledgments to Mr. Bradley, whose essay on Hamlet I have mentioned once or twice; for it may be that I owe more to it than I know.
