Fils d'un gantier devenu bailli de Stratford, Shakespeare put étudier, mais des revers de fortune familiaux et un jeune mariage semblent l'avoir conduit à arrêter. On le suppose établi à Londres dès 1588, mais sa réputation dramaturgique naît en 1592. Son premier mécène est le comte de Southampton à qui il dédie des poèmes, genre dans lequel il excelle au vu de ses 'Sonnets' (1609). Il joue ses pièces à la cour d'Elizabeth 1ère, puis de Jacques 1er, ensuite il devient successivement actionnaire du théâtre du Globe et du Blackfriars (1608). En 1612, il rentre à Stratford. Auteur d'une oeuvre unique et intemporelle, il s'attacha à décrire les jeux du pouvoir et les passions humaines, mêlant joie et douleur, emprisonnant la vie dans ses vers. Les premières oeuvres furent marquées par leur caractère historique ('Richard III'). A partir de 1594, il développa ses comédies ('Beaucoup de bruit pour rien') et délivre sa première tragédie majeure, 'Roméo et Juliette', qu'il fera suivre d''Hamlet', d''Othello' et du 'Roi Lear'. Sa dernière pièce, 'La tempête', est une oeuvre remarquable, baignée d'ésotérisme.

The Tragedy of Hamlet, Prince of Denmark, often shortened to Hamlet, is a tragedy written by William Shakespeare sometime between 1599 and 1601. It is Shakespeare's longest play, with 29,551 words. Set in Denmark, the play depicts Prince Hamlet and his revenge against his uncle, Claudius, who has murdered Hamlet's father in order to seize his throne and marry Hamlet's mother.
Hamlet 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 one of Shakespeare's 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 world's most filmed story after Cinderella.
The story of Shakespeare's 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 Shakespeare wrote the Ur-Hamlet, later revising it to create the version of Hamlet that exists today. He almost certainly wrote his version of the title role for his fellow actor, Richard Burbage, the leading tragedian of Shakespeare's time. In the 400 years since its inception, the role has been performed by numerous highly acclaimed actors in each successive century.
