Annotation:
	Shows how Goethe's interpretation of Hamlet in Wilhelm Meisters Lehrjahre (1794/95) was translated and published in excerpts as standalone criticism without the framing context of the novel. Demonstrates that how this epistolary novel became emblematic of Goethe's Shakespeare criticism. English summary, 28.
