Since our blog debuted in 2017, we have published 500+ posts. While some of you may have been with us from the start (thank you, loyal readers!), others may have joined us more recently.
So, we’re highlighting periodically some of the posts that have garnered a lot of views or that address topics of continuing interest in the current moment — posts that you may have missed or that you might want to revisit.
Today, we feature a post that has steadily gained attention since its publication in 2021: “Death and the Afterlife in Ecclesiastes and Hamlet” by Anne-Sophie Tooley (MA ’22).
Whether it’s the compelling visual image that Anne-Sophie selected for this piece of public scholarship or her insights about the intertextual resonances between Hamlet and Ecclesiastes that draws visitors to this post, we’re glad Anne-Sophie pursued this topic for ENGL 801 “Graduate Studies in English,” so we could all learn more about how “the relationship between these two texts helps readers understand how Hamlet challenges the orthodox views of its day.”
Read more at “Death and the Afterlife in Ecclesiastes and Hamlet“ — and our thanks to Anne-Sophie for this contribution!
