Drawing on Freud, Lacan, Hegel, and Marx, the author argues that \u003ci\u003eHamlet\u003c\/i\u003e is not only a metaphorical autobiography of Shakespeare but also a profound meditation on virtue signaling, neoliberal capitalism, melancholic subjectivity, and the modern quest for certainty. By combining close textual analysis with psychoanalytic and philosophical theory, this work proposes a new model for reading literature-one that uncovers the unconscious logic of ideology and the enduring relevance of Shakespeare's most enigmatic tragedy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Robert Samuels\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798216450207\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Academic\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/15\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 188\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.93lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.50d","brand":"Robert Samuels","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":50666091053311,"sku":"9798216450207","price":110.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/hamlet-psychoanalysis-and-contemporary-politics-robert-samuels-9798216450207","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
