From then on, the play has been studied by a large number of literary scholars, many of whom hold various opinions about the text, so-called “there are one thousand Hamlets in one thousand readers’ minds”. The objective of this thesis is to disclose the relationship between Hamlet and its historical context by applying the major theories of New Historicism, especially the New Historicist dictum of “historicity of text and textuality of history”. Based on New Historicism, the thesis examines the text from three aspects: firstly, Shakespeare’s creational background of Hamlet; secondly, the influence of the historical context on Hamlet which makes the play a representation of the Elizabethan era and the specific effect of Hamlet on the construction of the historical context of the Elizabethan era
