Excerpt from The Genesis of Hamlet This essay presents the chief new results of a prolonged study of Hamlet with a succession of college classes. I became convinced long ago that the only hope of solving the Hamlet problem lay in a clear discrimination between Shakespeare's original contributions to the story and the legendary materials that he inherited. This plan has never been fairly tried, because it has heretofore been thought impossible to distinguish these heterogeneous elements. There are, however, plenty of clues, and it is necessary only that they be intelligently followed. I have here pointed out the most promising of these, and followed them as well as I could. There have been so many false starts towards a solution of Hamlet that no new adventurer can expect all his conclusions to be acceptable, but I am confident that I have hit upon a sound method of investigation, and that by the same method others will succeed where-ever I may have failed.
