William Shakespeare was born in Stratford- on- Avon in 1564, the son of a prominent citizen. He presumably attended the Stratford grammar school, but we know nothing certain about his young life, apart from his christening and then his marriage, eighteen years later, to Anne Hathaway. In 1583, they had a daughter and, in 1585 twins, a boy and a girl. There is no more information until 1592, when Shakespeare is already well- known in London both as an actor and a playwright. He belonged to the acting company, the Lord Chamberlain's Men, Later (under James I) the king's Men. In 1599 this group built and became resident at the Globe, the leading Elizabethan theatre. Shakespeare's writing, in his early years, included poetry as well as plays, Venus and Adonis was published in 1593 and The Rape of Lucrece in 1594. His contemporary, Francis Meres, records in 1598 the Shakespeare has circulated his sugared sonnets among his private friends. But these were not published until 1609. Shakespeare‟s play, moreover, contain a variety of songs, revealing his lyrical mastery. In 1610, Shakespeare returned to Stratford, although he continued his dramatic writing. He died there in 1616. It was not until 1623, in the First Folio, that his plays were published in a collected edition.
