national poet, and the "Bard of Avon".His extant works, including collaborations,
consist of approximately 38 plays,154 sonnets, two long narrative poems, and a few
other verses, some of uncertain authorship. His plays have been translated into
every major living language and are performed more often than those of any other
playwright.
Shakespeare was born and brought up in Stratford-upon-Avon, Warwickshire. At the
age of 18, he married Anne Hathaway, with
whom he had three children: Susanna, and twins
Hamnet and Judith. Sometime between 1585 and
1592, he began a successful career in London as an
actor, writer, and part-owner of a playing company
called the Lord Chamberlain's Men, later known as
the King's Men. He appears to have retired to
Stratford around 1613, at age 49, where he died
three years later.
