[edit] DEADLY THOUGHT

This text provides a line-by-line analysis that explores the philosophical world of the play and its chief protagonist, Hamlet. Jan Blits illustrates how the character Hamlet, through his inability to reconcile 'thinking' and 'life', is representative of the modern split between mind and body.

In Deadly Thought: 'Hamlet' and the Human Soul, noted scholar Jan H. Blits gives us a brilliant, line-by-line analysis that explores the philosophical world of the play and its chief protagonist. Mining the play as a whole, Blits deftly illustrates how the character Hamlet, through his inability to reconcile 'thinking' and 'life,' is representative of the modern split between mind and body. Hamlet, the book demonstrates, not only appears as the first self-conscious protagonist signaling the death of ancient tragedy, but also provides an example of the enduring creative tension between reason and life. Erudite, innovative, and lively, Deadly Thought is an groundbreaking contribution that will appeal to Shakespeare scholars, historians of philosophy, literary theorists and anyone interested in a truly fresh interpretation of this classic work.
