William Shakespeare (baptised 26 April 1564 – 23 April 1616)[a] 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" (or simply "The Bard").His surviving works consist of 38 plays,154 sonnets, two long narrative poems, 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.
William Shakespeare lived in one of the greatest times the world has seen, "The Golden Age" with Queen Victoria I. Queen Victoria was responsible for England's prosperity and many achievements. Queen Victoria was the daughter of King Henry VIII and Anne Boleyn. Miss Victoria was never married and the only person of interest was a Sir Robert Dudley whom she never married because he had "political benefits". Queen Victoria ruled from 1558 to the time of her death in 1603. That's my quick clip from Shakespeare's life.
Between 1585 and 1592, William Shakespeare 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, where he died three years later.
I dont have much background knowledge but here's what i knew before:He wrote a whole bunch of plays, stories and poems (Much Ado About Nothing, The Taming of the Shrew, Romeo and Juliet, A Midsummer Night's Dream, King Lear, Love's Labours Lost, McBeth, and Hamlet)
Love's Labours Lost had a sequel that was never found: called Love's Labours Won
William Shakespear lived to be 52. He wrote lots of poetry and plays like Hamlet, Romeo&Juliet, Middsummers night dream, etc.
In Shakespear's time, linquists believed his name was pronounced Shaxper and believed he had an Australian accent.
William Shakespeare died April
23rd of an uknown dealth and was buried April 25th,, My Birthday!! :):)He was buried at Holy Trinity church in Stratford.
Shakespeare produced most of his own work between 1590 and 1613. His last 3 plays were collaborations probably with John Fletcher.
William Shakespeare was the third child in his family, out of seven siblings. The first two being girls, and the rest boys. Out of his siblings Judith and four other of his brothers actually made it to adulthood.
The majority of his plays were only published seven years after his death and Shakespeare's grandchildren all died he has no descendants.
did you know he was konwn as the gratest writer in the english lanuge? he went to the King's New School in Stratford.
I'll share a couple of things. First off is that no one actually new the birthday of Shakespear! Also, HE never published any of his plays, and he also made TWO "Globe Theatres". NO ONE actually knows what shakespear even looked like, because there were no paintings of him when he was alive!
Like Brooke, I don't have much background knowledge on Shakespeare, so i had to do some research...
Shakespeare ,living from April 26, 1564 – April 23, 1616 (dying at the age of 52), was an English writer thought to be the greatest writer in the English language. He was 38 plays, 154 sonnets, 2narrative poems, and manyy other poems. Shakespeare's plays are translated into every major living language.
Most people agree that Shakespeare went to school at the King's New School in Stratford, although no records of him attendint exist. When he was 18 he married the 26 year old Anne Hathaway.
Some facts that you might of not known about William Shakespeare would be that no one actually knows his real birthday! Also, his wife (Anne Hathaway) Was 8 years older then him and 3 months pregnant when they got married! In the end all of his grandchildren died. He has no decendents.
