Abstract
This article investigates the presence of Shakespeare’s Hamlet in the poetic production of a selection of twentieth-century Spanish poets, among them, Miguel de Unamuno, Antonio and Manuel Machado, Juan Ramon Jimenez, Federico Garcia Lorca, Leon Felipe, Vicente Aleixandre, Jose Hierro, Blas de Otero, Juan Eduardo Cirlot, Clara Janes and Maria Victoria Atencia. It will be seen how these different poets appropriate Hamlet in their own manner, focusing on dissimilar episodes, concepts and characters to elaborate on their personal reflections on life and death, love, poetry and human nature. Such varied poetic reinterpretations of Shakespeare’s tragedy illustrate not only the multiple poetic possibilities that Hamlet suggests but also the significant impact of the play upon the poetry produced in twentiethcentury Spain.
