Hamlet and Oedipus (Norton Library (Paperback))

Hamlet and Oedipus (Norton Library (Paperback))

â€œThe Freud-Jones view of Hamlet is very widely known and probably this centuryâ€™s most distinctive contribution to Shakespearean criticism.â€ â€•Norman N. Holland, Director, Center for the Psychological Study of the Arts, State University of New York at Buffalo, in Psychoanalysis and Shakespeare
A classic study in the psychoanalysis of literature, Hamlet and Oedipus investigates Hamletâ€™s mind as it relates to the general psychological conditions foreshadowed in the Oedipus legend. Dr. Jones gives a comprehensive view of the Hamlet literature and shows how the explanation of Hamletâ€™s mysterious inhibitions lies in his unconscious conflicts. The Hamlet theme is itself an old one, and there is a full discussion of the place of the saga in the complex mythological group to which it belongs.
