38-44p. Abstract: An anonymous critic once declared, with a little bit of pardonable jingoism, that if all the writings on Hamlet were to be collected and piled one upon another, it would touch the nearest planet! Fun apart, none can deny that of all writers in this cosmos, it is the Bardof-Avon who has elicited the widest response to his works from all over the world. Lay readers, students, scholars, critics, theatregoers, translators—indeed all of them have marvelled at what Harold Bloom terms him as the ‘human invention.’ It is well-nigh impossible to put together all the reactions which have been so continuously pouring over the four centuries. I intend to restrict myself to the critical output on Shakespeare by established critics ever since the plays were staged. ***______{For Hard Copy, Please visit Library.}________*** Reception| Shakespeare Criticism| History 0973-5208 https://journals.eltai.in/index.php/jelt/article/view/JELT630508 https://journals.eltai.in/index.php/jelt/article/view/JELT630508 240129 20240129171502.0
