English stories about crime location in Hamlet (8)
I believe the answer is:
elsinore
'location in hamlet' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.
'english stories about crime' is the wordplay.
'english' becomes 'E' (abbreviation as in OED).
'stories' becomes 'lore' (lore can mean a body of traditions or learning).
'about' is an insertion indicator.
'crime' becomes 'sin'.
'lore' going around 'sin' is 'lsinore'.
'e'+'lsinore'='ELSINORE'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for elsinore that I've seen before include "haunted castle?" , "Zealand port" , "Hamlet's place" , "Castle in Hamlet" , "setting for play" .)
