Hamlet Roundtable
Just so nobody misses a passing reference in the comments, I wanted to make this item a post of its own. Nigel Beale is hosting a "Hamlet roundtable" on Thursday of this week featuring four "prominent lit bloggers". I'm not really sure what prominent means in this case, but they are:
http://wutheringexpectations.blogspot.com/ (Amateur Reader)
http://fernham.blogspot.com (Anne Fernald)
http://www.sarahweinman.com/confessions/ (Confessions of an Idiosyncratic Mind)
http://www.edrants.com/ (Edward Champion's Filthy Habits)
They do each appear to reference Shakespeare frequently, although I'm sure how often they are writing specifically *about* Shakespeare. I think I may have linked the Idiosyncratic Mind one once or twice.
Anyway, sounds like it could be worth a watch. They do appear to be a fairly deep lot (at least, relative to this blog), so your mileage may vary.

Mr Misery hat on:
Another Hamlet scramble. I get very suspicious, especially at this end of the 20th century (ie we are out of it) that the 18/19th Centuries' obsession with Hamlet persists.
I partly blame the schools arcane curriculums (well, always a good start - and deliberate speling).
Such an awful, incomplete text; such misunderstanding and twisting of character to fit petty teenage angst - such a low level intellectual exercise.
No wonder Shakespeare is a major league turn off.
