Detailed explanation-1: -From 1585 until 1592, very little is known about Shakespeare. These are generally referred to as ‘The Lost Years’. But by 1592 we know that he was in London where he was singled out by a rival dramatist, Robert Greene in his bitter deathbed pamphlet, A Groats-worth of Witte.
Detailed explanation-2: -He wrote the blockbuster plays of his day-some of his most famous are Macbeth, Romeo and Juliet, and Hamlet. It has been almost 400 years since he died, but people still celebrate his work all around the world.
Detailed explanation-3: -William Shakespeare, born April 26 1564 and died April 23 1616, was the greatest English writer in history. Also called the “Bard of Avon” (Bard is a poet and Avon is the town he lived in), his works have been translated and performed in every language on earth.
Detailed explanation-4: -As a boy he attended the local grammar school. Shakespeare’s family were fairly poor, so he was forced to leave school at an early age to find work. When he was eighteen William married Anne Hathaway. By the time William was 21 he was the father of three children.
Detailed explanation-5: -Shakespeare’s will was slightly strange. One of Shakespeare’s relatives was executed. Shakespeare was not an Elizabethan playwright. Shakespeare often wrote about suicide. Two of Shakespeare’s plays have been translated into Klingon. Some moons were named after Shakespeare’s characters. More items
