More about William Shakespeare:
William Shakespeare (26 April 1564 (baptized) -- 23 April 1616) was an
English poet and playwright, widely regarded as the greatest writer in the
English language and the world's preeminent dramatist. He is often called
England's national poet and the "
Bard of Avon". His surviving works, including some collaborations, consist of about 38 plays,
154 sonnets, two long narrative poems, two epitaphs on a man named
John Combe, one epitaph on
Elias James, and several other poems. His plays have been translated into every major living language and are performed more often than those of any other playwright.
Shakespeare was born and brought up in Stratford-upon-Avon. At the age of 18, he married
Anne Hathaway, with whom he had three children:
Susanna, and twins
Hamnet and
Judith. Between 1585 and 1592, he began a successful career in
London as an actor, writer, and part owner of a playing company called the
Lord Chamberlain's Men, later known as the
King's Men. He appears to have retired to
Stratford around 1613 at age 49, where he died three years later. Few records of
Shakespeare's private life survive, and there has been considerable speculation about such matters as his physical appearance, sexuality, religious beliefs, and whether the works attributed to him were written by others.
Shakespeare produced most of his known work between 1589 and 1613. His early plays were mainly comedies and histories, genres he raised to the peak of sophistication and artistry by the end of the
16th century. He then wrote mainly tragedies until about 1608, including Hamlet,
King Lear,
Othello, and
Macbeth, considered some of the finest works in the
English language. In his last phase, he wrote tragicomedies, also known as romances, and collaborated with other playwrights.
Shakespeare plays remain highly popular today and are constantly studied, performed, and reinterpreted in diverse cultural and political contexts throughout the world. (from
