Gertrude and Claudius
by John Updike
Alfred A Knopf; February 2000

Description:
Gertrude and Claudius by John Updike explores Updike's take on Hamlet. His version of the classic tells what happened in the years leading up to the drama in Shakespeare's play. The focus is not on the boy Hamlet but on his elders and proposes to answer some of the many questions that were left open in the play.
