Nineteenth Century Romanticism and the Importance of William Shakespeare's Hamlet

In five pages this report considers this topic within the context of Northrop Frye's observation that William Shakespeare's Hamlet was the 'central and most significant play, because it dramatized a central preoccupation of the age of Romanticism: the conflict of consciousness and action...No other play has explored the paradoxes of action and thinking about action so deeply.' Five sources are cited in the bibliography.
