William Shakespeare is an English poet and playwright, often considered the greatest writer in the English language and one of the best playwrights in the world.

William Shakespeare was born in Stratford-upon-Avon (Warwickshire) in 1564, baptized April 26,

Tradition places his birth on April 23 this date coincides with the precisely known day of his death .

His father, John Shakespeare (1530-1601), was a wealthy artisan (glove maker), often elected to various significant public positions. In 1565 John Shakespeare was an alderman, and in 1568 he was a bailiff (head of the city council). He did not attend church services, for which he paid large fines (it is possible that he was a secret Catholic)Shakespeare's mother, nee Mary Arden (1537-1608), belonged to one of the oldest Saxon families. In total, the couple had 8 children, William was born the third.

In 1582, at the age of 18, he married Anne Hathaway, the daughter of a local landowner, who was 8 years older than him. At the time of the marriage, Ann was pregnant. In 1583, the couple had a daughter, Susan (baptized on May 23), in 1585, twins: son Hemnet, who died at the age of 11 in August 1596, and daughter Judith (baptized on February 2).

Shakespeare lived in London during the period of acting and dramaturgy, but also spent some of his time in Stratford. In 1596, a year after the purchase of New Place, he resided at St. Helena's in Bishopgate, on the north side of the Thames. After the construction of the Globe Theater in 1599, Shakespeare moved to the other side of the river - to Southwark, where the theater was located. In 1604 he again moved across the river, this time to the area north of St. Paul's Cathedral, where there were a large number of good houses. He rented rooms from a French Huguenot named Christopher Mountjoy, a manufacturer of women's wigs and headdresses .

Hamlet (1600-1601)

Romeo and Juliet (1595-1596)

Shakespeare died on April 23 (May 3), 1616. It is traditionally believed that he died on his birthday, but there is no certainty that Shakespeare was born on April 23. Shakespeare was survived by a widow, Anne (d. 1623), and two daughters

Three days later, Shakespeare's body was buried in the Stratford Church of the Holy Trinity. An epitaph is written on his tombstone:

Good frend for Iesvs sake forbear,To digg the dvst encloased heare.Blaste be ye man yt spares the stones,And cvrst be he yt moves my bones.
