Shakespearian commentators have often wondered wh) the poet placed the scene of “Hamlet” at Elsinore, in the Island of Zealand, whereas the Danish Prince livedrand died in Jutland, But just recently the municipal authorities at Elsinore, or Helsignor, have discovered in their archives that an English company was acting In their town in 1587 Matinee S’sters, but Com's to Grief. | or 1598, and among the names of the actors are several of those who were acting with Shakespeare In London in 1599. Obviously, these actors must have talked about their ad- ventures in Lenmark, and so Shakespeare became well ac- quainted with Elsinore, and, when he wrote “Hamlet,” nat- urally placed the scene in a place which he knew by de- scription, rather than In an island of which he knew noth- ing. ‘The poet wa&/no great stickier for accuracy in geo- graphical matters, ‘and this vielt of the English actors plausibly explains the reason why the tragedy of “Ham: Jat’ was placed in Zealand and not in Jutland.
