Scope and content

Drafts for a book of essays which had the earlier proposed title, "Essays on Hamlet problems." Some of these drafts are lecture scripts carrying revisions and with footnotes added. The sequence of the essays changed over time and consequently there are varying chapter numbers at the top of drafts of the same essay. Some essays are represented by one or two drafts, while others are represented by five or six drafts. One or two pages are written on verso of letters received in 1991 and 1992.
