William Shakespeare
by Maria Kniery and Ruthie Menor.
William Shakespeare was born in April of 1564. There is no specific date of birth because at that time the only date of importance was the date of baptism, though infants often were baptized when they were three days old. Shakespeare's baptismal date was April 26, 1564. Shakespeare's baptismal data era 26 de abril de 1564.
Shakespeare was born in the village of Stratford-upon-Avon in Warwickshire. At the time of his birth, the village had a population of 1500 people, and only 200 houses. Shakespeare's father, John Shakespeare, came from a family of yeomen, and he gained many prestigious positions in the community. Shakespeare's mother, Mary Arden, came from an ancient family of landed gentry. The whole family was Anglican. The family's financial situation was well off. Not much information is known about Shakespeare's youth, although undoubtedly he was educated in the local school, where he studied Latin and Greek, among other subjects, during a school day that often lasted from dawn to dusk. Shakespeare's first exposure to the theater probably occurred when he was young. As a child his father probably took him to see plays when traveling troupes of actors came to town, although that was not often. Shakespeare was married to Anne Hathaway in 1582, when he was 18; she was 26, eight years his senior. The exact wedding date is uncertain, but the marriage certificate was issued on November 27,1582. Anne was the daughter of a respected yeoman farmer. William and Anne had their first child, Susanna, in May of 1583. This was followed by the birth of twins, Hamnet and Judith, in January of 1585. Most historians believe that Shakespeare was not often around his family in Stratford after that because historical records show him in London during the following years. The first written reference to Shakespeare's existence in London occurred in 1592, when Shakespeare was in his late twenties. He seems to have been fairly well established in the theatre by that point, since the reference, written by another playwright, hints of jealousy at Shakespeare's success. With his two patrons, the Earls of South Hampton and Pembrooke, Shakespeare rose quickly in the theater as both an actor and an author. He joined the Lord Chamberlin's Men, an acting company which was protected by the Queen, becoming a shareholder and senior member in 1595. Because of his success in London, he was able to purchase New Place, the largest and most elegant house in his home town of Stratford, when he was in his early thirties (1597). In addition to his popularity as both an actor and playwright, Shakespeare became joint owner of the famous Globe theater when it opened in 1599. His share of the company's management added heavily to his wealth. Shakespeare's financial success in the London theatre enabled him to retire and return to his home in Stratford around 1610. He lived there comfortably until his death on April 23, 1616 (it is popularly believed that he died on his birthday). He is buried in Holy Trinity Church in Stratford-upon-Avon. Though Shakespeare is most closely associated with the Elizabethan period, his career can be categorized as both Elizabethan and Jacobean, as several works were completed after James I became king in 1603.

William Shakespeare nasceu em abril de 1564. Não há nenhuma data de nascimento específica porque naquele tempo a única data da importância era a data do batismo, embora os renascidos fossem batizados frequentemente quando tinham três dias de vida. A data do batismo de Shakespeare foi 26 de abril de 1564. Shakespeare nasceu na vila de Stratford-upon-Avon em Warwickshire. Na época de seu nascimento, a vila tinha uma população de 1500 pessoas, e somente 200 casas. O pai de Shakespeare, John Shakespeare, veio de uma família dos yeomen, e ganhou muitas posições prestigiosas na comunidade. A mãe de Shakespeare, Mary Arden, veio de uma família antiga da pequena aristocracia aterrada. A família inteira era anglicana. A situação financeira da família estava longe de ser boa. Não se tem muita informação sobre a juventude de Shakespeare, embora fosse educado indubitàvelmente na escola local, onde estudou o latino e o grego, entre outros assuntos, durante um dia de escola que durasse frequentemente do alvorecer ao crepúsculo. A apresentação da primeiro teatral de Shakespeare ocorreu provavelmente quando era jovem. Embora não fosse uma constante, enquanto criança seu pai provavelmente o levava para ver peças de trupes de atores intinerantes que vinham à cidade. Shakespeare casou-se com Anne Hathaway em 1582, quando tinha 18anos; ela tinha 26 anos, oito anos mais velha. A data exata do casamento é incerta, mas o certificado de união foi emitido em 27 de novembro de 1582. Anne era a filha de um fazendeiro respeitado do yeoman. William e Anne tiveram sua primeira filha, Susanna, em maio de 1583. Isto foi seguido pelo nascimento dos gêmeos, Hamnet e Judith, em janeiro de 1585. A maioria dos historiadores acreditam que Shakespeare não era presente ao lado de sua família em Stratford porque os registros históricos o mostram em Londres durante os seguintes anos. A primeira referência escrita da existência de Shakespeare em Londres ocorreu em 1592, quando Shakespeare estava com seus 20 anos. Parece ter sido razoavelmente bem conhecido no teatro por esse tempo, desde a referência, escrita por um outro dramaturgo, revelando inveja do sucesso de Shakespeare Com seus dois patrões, os condes de Hampton sul e Pembrooke, Shakespeare cresceu rapidamente no teatro como um ator e um autor. Juntou-se ao homens do senhor Chamberlin, uma companhia atuante que era protegida pela rainha, se transformando em um accionista e um membro sênior em 1595. Por causa de seu sucesso em Londres, podia comprar um novo lugar , a maior casa e a mais elegante em sua cidade natal Stratford, quando estava com seus anos 30 de idade (1597). Além de sua popularidade como um ator e dramaturgo, Shakespeare transformou-se proprietário comum do famoso teatro do globo quando abriu em 1599. Seu gererenciamento na companhia adicionou recursos pesados a sua riqueza. O sucesso financeiro de Shakespeare no teatro de Londres permitiu-o aposentar-se e retornar a seu repouso em Stratford, por volta de 1610. Viveu lá confortavelmente até sua morte em 23 deabril de 1616 (se acredita popular que morreu em seu aniversário). É enterrado na igreja da Santíssima Trindade em Stratford-upon-Avon. Embora Shakespeare seja associado a um período mais próxima ao período Elizabetano, sua carreira pode ser categorizada como Elizabetana e Jacobina, como diversos trabalhos foram terminados depois que James I se transformou rei em 1603.
