Summary

Runner-up in the 1997 University of Delaware Press Shakespeare manuscript competition, Nobler in the Mind reviews two major intellectual movements, the Stoic and Skeptic revivals, which, along with the Protestant Reformation, profoundly affected English Renaissance drama. The discussions of the dialectic in the plays by Shakespeare's contemporaries may be seen as parts of an extended preface to the discussion of Hamlet.
