TL;DR: The authors assume the correctness of the hypothesis which sees in Q2 eale a corruption or contraction of evil, and refrain from interpreting of a doubt beyond Jenkins' reading beyond Jenkins's reading.
Abstract: The title of this talk is really a misnomer. I do not wish to enter the debate concerning three lines which Jenkins has called “ probably the most famous crux in Shakespeare” . I assume the correctness of the hypothesis which sees in Q2 eale a corruption or contraction of evil; and I will refrain from interpreting of a doubt beyond Jenkins’ reading. I am more interested in the word dram and the value it may have in establishing a mythological reading of Hamlet.

TL;DR: The Bernhardt Hamlet as mentioned in this paper is the first to investigate that production and to explain its context and its impact upon the cultural life of the time, and it is a classic example of the revenge tradition.
Abstract: Critics regarded Sarah Bernhardt's interpretation of Hamlet in 1899 as the revelation of Shakespeare's tragedy in France. The Bernhardt Hamlet is the first to investigate that production and to explain its context and its impact upon the cultural life of the time. Bernhardt's most significant innovation was her rejection of romantic sensibility in favor of the revenge tradition. In assuming a male role, she remained within the theatrical tradition of travesti that came to full fruition in the nineteenth century. Classically trained, the 54-year-old Bernhardt refashioned the Hamlet inheritance with insight, vigor, and originality.

TL;DR: The authors examined the continental records in order to determine whether the English players' 1626 performance of Hamlet in Dresden, Germany, was likely to have been presented as a puppet play, and they concluded that, while some of the plays in the repertory of the englischen Komodianten enjoyed an after-life as puppet plays, there is no known evidence that the Englishmen on the Continent themselves presented puppet plays.
Abstract: This paper examines the continental records in order to determine whether the English players’s 1626 performance of Hamlet in Dresden, Germany, was likely to have been presented as a puppet play. Along the way, it reconstructs the seventeenth-century continental stage history of Hamlet . The paper concludes that, while some of the plays in the repertory of the englischen Komodianten enjoyed an after-life as puppet plays, there is no known evidence that the Englishmen on the Continent themselves presented puppet plays. And, despite scholarly claims to the contrary, there are no sure records of seventeenth-century performances of Hamlet on the Continent other than Green’s.
