William Shakespeare

26 April 1564 – 23 April 1616William Shakespeare is not only England’s most

famous poet and playwright, but perhaps also the greatest writer in the world has ever

known. Even today his works are read more widely than those of

any writer.

At the age of 18 he married Anne Hathaway,

who was then 26. At some time around 1588

he went to London, joined a theatre company

as an actor and began writing plays.

His plays were soon very popular and he became

quite a rich man. He bought New Place, one of

the largest houses in Stratford, and in 1599 the Globe theatre in

London was built.

While Shakespeare was regarded as the foremost

dramatist of his time. Shakespeare's sonnets were composed between 1593 and

1601. The Sonnets of Shakespeare, consists of 154

sonnets, all written in the form of three quatrains and a

couplet that is now recognized as Shakespearean. The sonnets

fall into two groups: sonnets 1-126, addressed to a beloved

friend, a handsome and noble young

man, and sonnets 127-152, to a malignant but fascinating "Dark

Lady”.

Shakespeare's sonnets

Shakespeare’s playsShakespeare wrote more than 30 plays. These are usually divided into four

categories: histories, comedies,

tragedies, and romances.

But today about

The bloodiest and most violent work of

Shakespeare

"Titus Andronicus" – a bloody tragedy

which is rich with the number of murders and

evildoings. "Titus Andronicus" is

the most violent creation of

this tragedy is impressive:

thirty four corpses, fourteen kills,

three severed hands and even one cutting

tongue.
