    William Shakespeare: (1564-1616)


    William Shakespeare was a renowned English poet, playwright,
    and actor born in 1564 in Stratford-upon-Avon. … Shakespeare
    was a prolific writer during the Elizabethan and Jacobean ages
    of British theatre (sometimes called the English Renaissance or
    the Early Modern Period).
    Profession: Poet, Dramatist, Actor, Writer.
    Shakespeare's Family Life: John Shakespeare married Mary
    Arden, and together they had eight children. William became
    their eldest child. William Shakespeare would have lived with
    his family in their house on Henley Street until he turned
    eighteen. When he was eighteen, Shakespeare married Anne
    Hathaway, who was twenty-six.

    Altogether Shakespeare’s works include 38 plays, 2 narrative
    poems, 154 sonnets, and a variety of other poems.
    Genres:

    history. Although this seems very straightforward, it is
    notoriously difficult to categorize the plays. This is because

    truth, the exact date of Shakespeare’s death is not known but
    assumed from a record of his burial two days later, 25 April
    1616, at Holy Trinity Church. Stratford upon Avon, where his
    grave remains. Shakespeare was sick for over a month before
