who's the real author of Hamlet and what's the base of difference?

Answer 1

This is a really complicated question.
Although it was believed that there was a collectivity of authors (it was a common practice back then), now most of the critics agree that the suthor was Shakespeare.
Of course, the inspiration is Ur-Hamlet, a play whose text doesn't exist any more and there were also other stages in the development of this play

Answer 2

Shakespeare wrote it, although Thomas Kyd's "The Spanish Tragedy" 1587-1590 introduces the world Elizabethan audiences to the "revenge" drama.

As suggested above, by jmyers8888, read Samuel Schoenbaum's "Shakespeare's Lives."

Kudos to Ana for mentioning the "Ur-Hamlet." Nobody knows what it is, but it's always a good idea to throw out.

Answer 3

Absolutely it's Shakespeare! We have a great deal of evidence about Shakespeare from his contemporaries and from documents. The idea that Shakespeare didn't write his plays, a 19th-century invention by a descendant of Francis Bacon, has always appealed to people who think only a "sir" or a "lord" can accomplish anything or that if you didn't even go to college you must be stupid. We call this sort of prejudice classism. It's also crazy (the first proponent of the Earl of Oxford was appropriately named Looney!).
