The play was registered at the Stationers\u2019 Company on 26th July 1602. A reference in the play to boy actors at the Blackfriars Theatre, a note by Gabriel Harvey mentioning <em>Hamlet<\/em>, and the influence of <em>Hamlet<\/em> on John Marston\u2019s play <em>Antonio\u2019s Revenge<\/em> (winter 1600\u20131601), all assist with dating the play to around 1600, with possible later revisions.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: var( --e-global-color-text );\">The play was first printed as a quarto in 1603, probably based on an actor\u2019s memory of it. A second, much longer version of the play was printed in quarto at the end of 1604 and start of 1605, probably typeset from Shakespeare\u2019s draft manuscripts, or a transcript of them. A third quarto in 1611 was typeset from the second, and a fourth quarto was typeset from the third, in about 1622. The First Folio version appears to be based mainly on a transcript of Shakespeare\u2019s manuscripts, possibly a prompt-book prepared for the acting company sometime after 1606, with some parts based on the second quarto.\u2028<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-68603ff5\" data-id=\"68603ff5\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-523065b4 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"523065b4\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/folio400.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Hamlet_300ppi-1024x1024.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-1144\" alt=\"Hamlet\" srcset=\"https:\/\/folio400.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Hamlet_300ppi-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/folio400.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Hamlet_300ppi-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/folio400.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Hamlet_300ppi-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/folio400.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Hamlet_300ppi-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/folio400.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Hamlet_300ppi.jpg 1476w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-accc9b8 elementor-section-stretched elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default elementor-invisible\" data-id=\"accc9b8\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;stretch_section&quot;:&quot;section-stretched&quot;,&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;,&quot;animation&quot;:&quot;fadeIn&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-background-overlay\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-3a0479d2\" data-id=\"3a0479d2\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-135bf35a elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"135bf35a\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-24f359ef\" data-id=\"24f359ef\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-24855f54 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"24855f54\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>\u2018Let me see.
