Excerpt from The Mystery of Hamlet: An Attempt to Solve an Old Problem

As among the myriads who since the days Of Homer, have attempted to crystallize in human words the ever varying tales of human life and love, one stands out pre eminent and incomparable, so among his works there rises one, the undisputed crown of all, with an irresistible fasci nation, attracting even those to whom the language in which it was written is an unknown tongue.

With an incredible plot, and a hero who, weak and vacillating, continually does those things which he ought not to do and leaves undone those things which he ought to have done, there is yet revealed a depth Of human feel ing, and a knowledge of the inmost springs that move the puppets whom we call mankind, before which humanity bows.

With other writers their characters are frequently but embodied qualities, moved by one emotion. The heroine is the embodiment of love, and lives but to love, alone.
