Hamlet, which dates from 1600 to 1601, is the first in Shakespeare’s great series of four tragedies, the others being Othello (1603), King Lear (1605), and Macbeth (1606). In writing this extraordinary play, Shakespeare effectively reinvented tragedy after an interval of roughly two thousand years—we have to go back to the Greek dramatists of fifth-century Athens to find anything of comparable depth and maturity.

Author
Author Bio: William Shakespeare
William Shakespeare (1564–1616), English poet and dramatist of the Elizabethan and early Jacobean period, is the most widely known author in all of English literature and often considered the greatest. He was an active member of a theater company for at least twenty years, during which time he wrote many great plays. Plays were not prized as literature at the time and Shakespeare was not widely read until the middle of the eighteenth century, when a great upsurge of interest in his works began that continues today.
