The Ghost in Hamlet, and Other Essays in Comparative Literature (Classic Reprint) by Maurice Francis Egan Pdf
Excerpt from The Ghost in Hamlet, and Other Essays in Comparative Literature It is quite evident that Shakespeare's Hamlet owes almost everything, except illumination, the inexplicable synthetic quality of genius, to the Historie 'of Hamblet. A careful comparison will Show this, though it will reveal the marvellous transformation which mere material takes in the hand of the artist; as an example Of the relations of the chronicler to the poet, the power of com pilation to that of imaginative synthesis, and life to literature, it is even more apt than the study of the Morte Arthure of Sir Thomas Malory in comparison with the Idyls of the King.
