William Shakespeare (also spelled Shakspere, Shaksper, Shaxper, and Shake-

CDs the gentry. His birth is assumed to have occurred at the family house on Henley
Street. Shakespeare's christening record dates to April 26 of that year. Because

The Winter's Tale
Shakespeare probably attended King Edward VI Grammar School in central Stratford.
While the quality of Elizabethan-era grammar schools was uneven, the school
probably would have provided an intensive education in Latin grammar and literature.
It is presumed that the young Shakespeare attended this school, since as the son of a
prominent town official he was entitled to do so for free (although his attendance
cannot be confirmed because the school's records have not survived). At the age of
eighteen, he married Anne Hathaway, who was twenty-six, on November 28, 1582.
One document identified her as being "of Temple Grafton," near Stratford, and the
marriage may have taken place there. Two neighbours of Anne posted bond that
there were no impediments to the marriage. There appears to have been some haste
in arranging the ceremony, presumably because Anne was three months pregnant.
After his marriage, Shakespeare left few traces in the historical record until he
appeared on the London theatrical scene. Indeed, the late 1580s are known as
Shakespeare's "lost years" because no evidence has survived to show exactly where
he was or why he left Stratford for London. On May 26, 1583, Shakespeare's first
child, Susanna, was baptised at Stratford. Twin children, a son, Hamnet, and a
daughter, Judith, were baptised on February 2, 1585. Hamnet died in 1596.
London and theatrical career
By 1592 Shakespeare was a playwright in London; he had enough of a reputation for
Robert Greene to denounce him as "an upstart crow, beautified with our feathers, that
with his Tygers hart wrapt in a Players hyde, supposes he is as well able to bombast
out a blanke verse as the best of you: and being an absolute Johannes factotum, is in
his owne conceit the onely Shake-scene in a countrey." (The italicised line parodies
the phrase, "Oh, tiger's heart wrapped in a woman's hide" which Shakespeare wrote
in Henry VI, part 3.)
By late 1594 Shakespeare was an actor, writer and part-owner of a playing company,
known as the Lord Chamberlain's Men - the company took its name, like others of the
period, from its aristocratic sponsor, in this case the Lord Chamberlain. The group
became popular enough that after the death of Elizabeth I and the coronation of
James I (1603), the new monarch adopted the company and it became known as the
King's Men. Shakespeare's writing shows him to indeed be an actor, with many
phrases, words, and references to acting, but there isn't an academic approach to the
art of theatre that might be expected.
By 1596 Shakespeare had moved to the parish of St. Helen's, Bishopsgate, and by
1598 he appeared at the top of a list of actors in Every Man in His Humour written by
Ben Jonson. Also by 1598 his name began to appear on the title pages of his plays,
presumably as a selling point.
There is a tradition that Shakespeare, in addition to writing many of the plays his
company enacted, and being concerned as part-owner of the company with business
and financial details, continued to act in various parts such as the ghost of Hamlet's
father, Adam in ""As You Like It"", and as the Chorus in ""Henry V"".
He appears to have moved across the Thames River to Southwark sometime around
1599. By 1604, he had moved again, north of the river, where he lodged just north of
St Paul's Cathedral with a Huguenot family named Mountjoy. His residence there is
worth noting because he helped arrange a marriage between the Mountjoys' daughter
and their apprentice Stephen Bellott. Bellott later sued his father-in-law for defaulting
on part of the promised dowry, and Shakespeare was called as a witness.
Various documents recording legal affairs and commercial transactions show that
Shakespeare grew rich enough during his stay in London to buy a property in
Blackfriars, London and own the second-largest house in Stratford, New Place.
Later years
Shakespeare's last two plays were written in 1613, after which he appears to have
retired to Stratford. He died on April 23 1616, at the age of fifty-two, on the same date
(though not same day for England was still functioning under the Julian calendar) as
Spanish writer and poet Miguel de Cervantes. He also died on his birthday, if the
speculation that he was born on April 23 is correct. He was married to Anne until his
death and was survived by his two daughters, Susanna and Judith. Susanna married
Dr John Hall, but there are no direct descendants of the poet and playwright alive
today.
Shakespeare is buried in the chancel of Holy Trinity Church in Stratford-upon-Avon.
He was granted the honour of burial in the chancel not on account of his fame as a
playwright but for purchasing a share of the tithe of the church for £440 (a
considerable sum of money at the time). A monument placed by his family on the wall
nearest his grave features a bust of him posed in the act of writing. Each year on his
claimed birthday, a new quill pen is placed in the writing hand of the bust.

He is believed to have written the epitaph on his tombstone:
Good friend, for Jesus' sake forbear,
To dig the dust enclosed here.
Blest be the man that spares these stones,
But cursed be he that moves my bones.
