| Description: | This newly revised fictional re-writing of the Hamlet story is set in a time somewhere between the Scandinavian Dark Ages - out of which the original tale of Hamlet came - and the Renaissance society of Shakespeare''s play. Graham Holderness''s novel provides both a prequel and a sequel to Shakespeare''s Hamlet: beginning with the great duel fought between his father King Amled and Fortinbras'' father Prince Fortenbrasse; and continuing after Hamlet''s death to tell both his story, and that of his invented son. In the light of this re-imagined history, the conflicts and alliances between ancient Viking chivalry, Renaissance realpolitik and Christian forgiveness are dramatically explored. |
