Welcome to episode 29 of Ripe Good Scholar: The Norse Origins of Hamlet.
In this episode…
We will be taking a deep dive into the texts that inspired Shakespeare’s Hamlet. It all started in the early days of Danish history and went through a few iterations before finally reaching Shakespeare. Without these texts that came before, we may not have the amazing play that we have today. It’s important to acknowledge and pay homage to these texts as we appreciate the surviving masterpiece, which is exactly what we will be doing today.
For this episode, I read The Norse Hamlet translated and composed by Soren Filipski.
