About This Item
New York, NY, U.S.A: Alfred A. Knopf Incorporated, 2000. First Edition. Hard Cover. Used; Like New/Near Fine. What happened before Shakespeare's "Hamlet"? Updike retells the ancient Scandinavian Legends that were the basis for the great play--but in his own inimitable style, that has won him 2 Pulitzer Prizes, the National Book Award, the National Book Critics Circle Award, the Rosenthal Award, and the Howells Medal.
Synopsis
Gertrude and Claudius is a novel by John Updike. It uses the known sources of Shakespeare's Hamlet to tell a story that draws on a rather straightforward revenge tale in the medieval Denmark depicted by Saxo Grammaticus in his twelfth-century Historiae Danicae, but incorporates extra plot elements added by François de Belleforest in his Histoires tragiques, published in 1576.
