Hyderabad: University of Hyderabad Professor's article published in prestigious journal

Hyderabad: "The Life in Stories, Life as Stories: Hamlet and narrative reanimation" by Prof. Anna Kurian, Professor at the Department of English, School of Humanities, University of Hyderabad has been published in the prestigious journal Shakespeare in Southern Africa.

This article studies Shakespeare's employment of narrative and storytelling in terms of 'life after death' in Hamlet. It argues that Shakespeare posits and postulates the possibility of life after death not in spiritual terms but in terms of the narratives that one leaves behind, in the stories, enunciated and heard by others, that perpetuate, after a fashion, one's life.
