Description: New York: Frederick Ungar Publishing, 1971. 0804421986. 1st edition. "In a provocative interpretation of the greatest play in the English language, Professor Fisch shows how the idea of a covenant is inherent in the imagery and design of the play. In tthe tradition of a Hellenic tragedy, Hamlet is swept toward an inevitable doom, t in the tradition of the biblical covenant, he harnesses his instinctual fury and becomes the divine instrument of a moral purging."
