CLCS 20th- and 21st-Century on MLA Commons 9 years, 5 months agoAbstract: This article poses a challenge to contemporary historicist tendency to silence significant semantic threads within Hamlet, attempts to restore our critical interest in the age-old problem of delay of the protagonist, and thus distinguish the text in itself from its historicised version.
