William Shakespeare (baptised 26 April 1564 – 23 April 1616)[a] was an English poet and playwright who is now regarded as the greatest writer of the English language and the world's pre-eminent dramatist.[1] His surviving works include 38 plays,[b] two long narrative poems,154 sonnets,and a few other poems.He is often called England's national poet and the "Bard of Avon" (or simply "The Bard").His plays have been translated into every major living language and are performed more often than those of any other playwright.[2]
Shakespeare was born and raised 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.Sometime between 1585 and 1592,Shakespeare moved to London,where he found success as an actor,writer,and part-owner of the playing company 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.Few records survive concerning Shakespeare's private life,and considerable speculation has been poured into this void,[3] including questions about his sexuality,religious beliefs,and whether the works attributed to him were actually written by others.[4]
Shakespeare produced most of his known work between 1590 and 1613.He at first wrote mainly comedies and histories,genres that he raised to a peak of sophistication and artistry by the end of the sixteenth century.He then wrote mainly tragedies until 1608,producing what are considered some of the greatest in the language,including Hamlet,King Lear,and Macbeth.In the last phase of his career,Shakespeare turned to tragicomedies and collaborated with other playwrights.Many of Shakespeare's plays were published during his lifetime in editions of variable quality and accuracy; and in 1623,two of his former acting colleagues published the First Folio,a collected edition of his works that included all but two of the plays now recognised as Shakespeare's.
Shakespeare was a respected poet and playwright in his own day; but it was not until the eighteenth century that his reputation began its rise to the heights it enjoys today.The Romantics,in particular,acclaimed Shakespeare's genius; and in the nineteenth century,the Victorians hero-worshipped Shakespeare with a reverence that George Bernard Shaw called "bardolatry".[5] In the twentieth century,Shakespeare's work was repeatedly adopted and rediscovered by new movements in scholarship and performance.His plays remain highly popular today; constantly performed and reinterpreted in diverse cultural and political contexts throughout the world.

Birth and Early Family Life
Shakespeare was born and grew up in a smallish town called Stratford, northwest of London, in 1564. He had four surviving siblings, and his father (John) was a well-off (though probably illiterate) craftsman and merchant. We have very little information on Shakespeare’s mother (Mary Arden), though we do know she came from an ancient family and was heiress to some land. During the early years of Shakespeare’s life, his dad was a prominent citizen who held governmental posts in Stratford and purchased land, though he seems to have fallen on hard times during Shakespeare’s teenage years.
Schooling
Shakespeare went to a free school in Stratford, where he was educated by a university-trained instructor. We cannot tell how long he went to school or if he had any other schooling. We do know a lot about the educational practices of his day and they were substantially different from today. (This is one of my favorite areas of study and I’d be happy to answer any questions that you might have.)
Marriage and Family
At the age of eighteen, Shakespeare married a 26-year-old woman (Anne Hathaway); they had a daughter seven months later. Three years later they had twins (an interesting biographical details that may relate to the frequency of twins in Shakespeare’s works).
London
Between 1585 and 1592, Shakespeare moved to London. There is much discussion of this move (getting away from the family, ambition, father’s economic fluctuations), but nothing is conclusive. What is known is that many were moving to London at this time: The town doubled during Shakespeare’s lifetime (from about 100,000 to approximately 200,000), despite the fact that plague killed more people than were born in the city. Quite simply, London’s growth came from people moving from the country, most likely in search of a break in the big city.
Shakespeare & the Theater
The theater was a new and exciting business that attracted many intelligent and educated young men, particularly those who were intellectually ambitious but not well enough connected to join the elite world of the court. Many of these men died in horrible poverty since there were no royalties or copyright and writers were paid a pittance for scripts. Shakespeare became a joint shareholder in one of the London theater companies (the Lord Chamberlain’s Men, which later became the King’s Men), and so received a percentage of the gate (cover charge) and made a fine living, enough to restore his family’s fortunes.
The Authorship Issue
Despite much hype about a Shakespeare authorship controversy, we have as much evidence that there was a William Shakespeare and that he wrote the plays attributed to him as we have for any other Renaissance playwright.
