AbstractHistoryArchive Description
The Home News reports on 'a controversy [that] has taken place in the columns of the Melbourne Argus on the question, 'Was Hamlet mad?' and it has been republished in the form of a pamphlet that will be prized by Shakespearians as a repertory of arguments upon a question of equal literary and psychological interest.'
The column concludes: 'Our contemporary, the Melbourne Argus, is to be congratulated on having been the means of initiating and concluding a discussion which shows the busy community of the capital of Victoria to be interested in the same questions in art and literature that interest ourselves; and in having shown, further, that such debates are carried on with equal skill and intelligence.'
