Early years
William Shakespeare was an English poet, playwright and actor. He was born in 1564 in Stratford-upon-Avon. His father, John Shakespeare, was a successful artisan. William was the third child in the family. His parents had eight children in total. William Shakespeare went to Stratford grammar school.
In 1582 Shakespeare married Anne Hathaway, who was the daughter of the local landowner. At that time Shakespeare was 18 years old and Anne was 8 years older than him. In 1583 Anne gave birth to their daughter Susanna. In 1585 the couple had twins – son Hamnet and daughter Judith. Unfortunately, Hamnet, the only son of William Shakespeare, died at the age of 11.
Life in London
Later Shakespeare moved to London. He lived and worked in this city for many years. During that time Shakespeare wrote most of his plays and became a successful playwright. His troupe was among the leading playing companies in London.
In 1599 a theatre was built on the south bank of the River Thames. It was named the Globe. This was the theatre where Shakespeare's company performed. Work at the theatre made Shakespeare a wealthy person. He was not only a playwright, he also took part in theatrical performances.
Later years
Several years before his death Shakespeare moved to Stratford. He died on 23 April 1616. Some research shows that at the end of his life he was in poor health.
Shakespeare’s works
Among his works there are such masterpieces of the world literature as "Romeo and Juliet", "A midsummer night's dream", "Othello", "King Lear", "Hamlet" and many others. Apart from that Shakespeare wrote 154 sonnets.
William Shakespeare's influence extends from theatre and literature to present-day movies, Western philosophy, and the English language itself.
Ранние годы
Уильям Шекспир был английским поэтом, драматургом и актером. Он родился в 1564 году в городе Стратфорд-апон-Эйвон. Его отец, Джон Шекспир, был успешным ремесленником. Уильям был третьим ребенком в семье. Всего у его родителей было восемь детей. Уильям Шекспир посещал стратфордскую грамматическую школу.
В 1582 году Шекспир женился на Энн Хатауэй, дочери местного землевладельца. На тот момент Шекспиру было 18 лет, а Энн была на 8 лет старше его. В 1583 году Энн родила дочь Сьюзен. В 1585 году у пары родилась двойня – сын Хэмнет и дочь Джудит. К сожалению, Хэмнет, единственный сын Уильяма Шекспира, умер в 11 лет.
Жизнь в Лондоне
Позже Шекспир переехал в Лондон. Он много лет жил и работал в этом городе. В то время Шекспир написал большинство своих произведений и стал успешным драматургом. Его труппа была одной из лучших в Лондоне.
В 1599 году на южном берегу Темзы был построен театр. Его назвали "Глобус". В этом театре выступала труппа Шекспира. Работа в театре сделала Шекспира состоятельным человеком. Он был не только драматургом, он также принимал участие в театральных представлениях.
Последние годы
За несколько лет до своей смерти Шекспир переехал в Стратфорд. Он умер 23 апреля 1616 года. Некоторые исследования свидетельствуют о том, что в конце жизни Шекспир болел.
Творчество Шекспира
Среди его работ – такие шедевры мировой литературы, как "Ромео и Джульетта", "Сон в летнюю ночь", "Отелло", "Король Лир", "Гамлет" и многие другие. Кроме того, Шекспир написал 154 сонета.
