Gertrude and Claudius

Gertrude and Claudius
John Updike
LITERATURE •  2001 •  PAPER  • 224 PAGES

In Shakespeare's play, Elsinore and Medieval Denmark are evoked in a few expressive lines, a castle, a mood; but in Updike's novel, an atmospheric prelude to Hamlet, Elsinore and its inhabitants get the full historical-novel treatment.  (DMK19, $13.95)
