The "Hamlet" essay alone is worth the price of admission (which, in this case, was free). A brief quote:
We say we read "Hamlet". We do not. We peck at it. We see it enacted two or three or four times in our lives, and then, like the honest colonel of dragoons who after his view of Irving's Hamlet was asked how he liked it, we "enjoy the quotations". Only we are not so honest as he was.
