Signature



Shakespeare was born and raised in Stratford-upon-Avon. At the age of eighteen, he married Annie Hathaway. Shakespeare had three children in Annie's womb. They are Susan and Hamnet and Judith, twins. Between 1585 and 1592, he gained considerable fame in London as an actor and playwright. He was the co-owner of a play company called Lord Chamberlain's Man. This company later became known as King's Men. He left the theater in 1813 and returned to Stratford. He died there three years later. There is no record of Shakespeare's personal life. Extensive research has been and continues to be done on his appearance, sexuality, religion, and even plays written in his name, whether written by him or by others. [5]

Most of Shakespeare's best-known works were staged between 1589 and 1813. [6] [nb 4] His early works were mainly conciliatory and historical plays. In the late sixteenth century, with his skill, these two streams rose to the middle of industrialism and aristocracy. He then wrote a number of tragic plays until 1806. His works include Hamlet, King Lear and Macbeth. Towards the end of his life he devoted himself to writing tragicmedi. These compositions are also known as romance. During this time he also acted in a few plays jointly with other playwrights.

The quality and authenticity of the plays published during his lifetime were not the same everywhere. In 1823, his two former playwrights published the first folio of Shakespeare's entire play, with the exception of two plays.

Shakespeare was a respected poet and playwright in his time. But after his death his reputation waned. Finally rose to the top of fame in the nineteenth century. The Romantics were appreciative of his compositions. Victorians worshiped him ritually; In the language of George Bernard Shaw, it was "bardolatry". [6] Even today his plays are very popular and widely studied. These plays are staged and interpreted in different ways in different cultural and political contexts around the world.
