[edit] Hamlet's Mill

Why is it that Hamlet's Mill is not mentioned in this article at all? This, despite misuse by pseudo-historians, is still a worthwhile exploration of the root of the Hamlet myth. the infamous rmx (talk) 18:45, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

  • I've never heard of it. Our article on it makes it sound like it may mot be a reliable source. I'd say there's plenty of scope for expanding this article from the Arden Hamlet and other academic texts. What did you have in mind? AndyJones (talk) 19:02, 6 January 2008 (UTC)
    • That looks like a work of Archetypal criticism rather than an exploration of the source of Hamlet in the sense this article covers. Information from that book would probably be better placed in Critical approaches to Hamlet. Wrad (talk) 20:50, 6 January 2008 (UTC)
