The Tragedy of Hamlet, Prince of Denmark, often shortened to Hamlet (/hæml?t/), is a tragedy written by William Shakespeare at an uncertain date between 1599 and 1602. Set in Denmark, the play dramatises the revenge Prince Hamlet is called to wreak upon his uncle, Claudius, by the ghost of Hamlets father, King Hamlet. Claudius had murdered his own brother and seized the throne, also marrying his deceased brothers widow.Hamlet is Shakespeares longest play, and is considered among the most powerful and influential works of world literature, with a story capable of seemingly endless retelling and adaptation by others. It was probably one of Shakespeares most popular works during his lifetime, and still ranks among his most performed, topping the performance list of the Royal Shakespeare Company and its predecessors in Stratford-upon-Avon since 1879. It has inspired many other writers-from Johann Wolfgang von Goethe and Charles Dickens to James Joyce and Iris Murdoch-and has been described as the worlds most filmed story after Cinderella.The story of Shakespeares Hamlet was derived from the legend of Amleth, preserved by 13th-century chronicler Saxo Grammaticus in his Gesta Danorum, as subsequently retold by the 16th-century scholar François de Belleforest. Shakespeare may also have drawn on an earlier Elizabethan play known today as the Ur-Hamlet, though some scholars believe he himself wrote the Ur-Hamlet, later revising it to create the version of Hamlet we now have. He almost certainly wrote his version of the title role for his fellow actor, Richard Burbage, the leading tragedian of Shakespeares time. In the 400 years since its inception, the role has been performed by numerous highly acclaimed actors in each successive century.Three different early versions of the play are extant: the First Quarto (Q1, 1603) the Second Quarto (Q2, 1604) and the First Folio (F1, 1623).Each version includes lines and entire scenes missing from the others.
