Shakespeare likely learned about Denmark and Elsinore through various sources, including travel narratives and historical texts. Notably, he drew inspiration from Saxo Grammaticus's "Gesta Danorum," a 12th-century work that chronicles Danish history and legends. Additionally, the play "Hamlet" reflects the political dynamics of the time, suggesting that Shakespeare was aware of Denmark's significance in European politics during the late 16th century. His engagement with these sources helped him create a vivid and authentic setting for his tragedy.
