AB  - Explores how two Hamlet’s sources, Saxo Grammaticus’s Revenge of Amleth (c. 1150) and its 1572 translation by François de Belleforest’s, connect politics and race, linking liberty with racial purity and tyranny and slavery with racial defilement. Argues that sources influenced racial hierarchies and representation of white subjectivity  in Hamlet.
