Welcome Back Interview - Spencer St. Clair

Viking Story

Many people have heard of Shakespeare's greatest tragic hero, Hamlet, but surprisingly few have taken an interest in his actual origins, which date back to over half a millennium before Shakespeare's time.

In this episode I speak with St. Clair Publications' own Spencer St. Clair to discuss a collaboration that we are working on together, namely, a book that is tentatively titled "(H)amlet(h)" and which compares/contrasts the earliest known sources of "Amlóðasaga," featuring the proto-Hamlet character of Amleth, with Shakespeare's famous play "The Tragedy of Hamlet, Prince of Denmark."

Strap yourself in and get ready to learn more about Hamlet/Amleth and the famous Danish historian, Saxo Grammaticus, and Saxo's most famous work, a complete history of Denmark called the "Gesta Danorum."
