William Shakespeare

(1564-1616)

William Shakespeare, English literature’s most famous playwright and poet was born on April 23, 1564 in the Warwickshire town of Stratford-upon-Avon. He was educated at the local grammar school and in 1582 he married Anne Hathaway, the daughter of a local farmer.

Around 1585, Shakespeare left Stratford and moved to London where he began his career in the theatre. Little is known about this period in his life, but by 1595 he was certainly well established both as an actor and a popular playwright.

His early plays were so popular in fact that, by the mid-1590s, writing had become Shakespeare’s main occupation.

During the next twenty years he wrote over thirty full-length plays including the world-famous comedies, histories, tragedies and romances. William Shakespeare’s best-known plays include: (histories) Julius Caesar, Henry V(1594-1600), (comedies) As You Like It, Twelfth Night (1598-1601), (tragedies) King Lear, Hamlet, Othello, Macbeth (1601-1608), (late romances) The Winter’s Tale, The Tempest (1608-1611).Eventually he retired to Stratford in 1611 as a rich and famous man. Shakespeare wrote 37 plays, 2 poems and 154 sonnets.
