<wordnerd>Setting of "Hamlet"
Why did Shakespeare choose to set
Hamlet in Denmark? I can see why it would not be wise of him to set it in England, but why Denmark? Why not some other real or imagined country?

legend about a Danish prince as told in the
Gesta Danorum, a history book, by
Saxo Grammaticus.
