| William Shakespeare |
 William Shakespeare (probably born on 23 April 1564, christened on 26 April 1564, died April 23 in literature in 1616 (52 years) is considered one of the greatest poets, playwrights and writers of the Anglo-Saxon It is renowned for his mastery of literary and poetic forms, and its ability to represent aspects of human nature is often put forward by its fans. Leading figure of Western culture, Shakespeare continues to influence artists today It is translated into many languages and his plays are regularly performed throughout the world. Shakespeare is one of the few playwrights to have done both comedy as tragedy. Shakespeare wrote thirty-September dramatic between the years 1580 and 1613. But the exact chronology of his plays are still subject to discussion. However, the volume of his creations is not as exceptional in terms of standards of the time. We measure the influence of Shakespeare on the Anglo-Saxon culture by observing the numerous references made to it, either through citations, titles of works or the many adaptations of his work. Do not say of English that is "the language of Shakespeare" in the same manner as that which is said in French that it is "the language of Moliere, of the German it is" Goethe's language "of the Spanish it is" the language of Cervantes, of the Italian that he is "the language of Dante and Persian it is" the language of Ferdowsi . Biography Most experts agree that there is now enough historical evidence to define in detail the life of Shakespeare. These "traces" are mainly from official documents and give a very limited life of the playwright. Indeed, the reputation of Shakespeare fed more legends and myths that the historian has no real facts on which to base Although some researchers have tried to speculate on some facts and anecdotes, trying to distinguish in his reflections of his inner life, we must resign ourselves to the idea that we know the character insignificant details, or almost. Some researchers have even claimed that he did not exist or that it was not her real name. Or borrowed name, it remains one of the greatest writers in the history of theater. First years Shakespeare's birthplace in Stratford-upon-Avon William Shakespeare was born probably on 23 April 1564 in Stratford-upon-Avon, in Warwickshire (center), England. His father, John Shakespeare, son of a peasant, Glover was a leather merchant and prosperous owner of the famous house, known as the Birthplace in addition to being a man of a certain position in the town of Stratford: in 1565, he was elected city councilor, then great bailiff (or mayor) in 1568. In 1557 he married Mary Arden, a middle, and both lived in a house on Henley Street. The success of John Shakespeare prompted him to seek arms, William get him in 1596 with the motto Non sanz droict. It is assumed that the father of the playwright had remained in the Catholic faith The act of baptism of young William is dated 26 April 1564: baptized on infants within a few days from birth, and by tradition, it is widely cited April 23 as the date of birth of the playwright . This makes it possible to sketch a curious symmetry since died the same day in 1616. In addition, it is entirely appropriate that the birth of the greatest English playwright coincides with the feast of St. George, patron saint of England. The comfortable environment in which Shakespeare was born led likely to go after the elementary school King Edward VI "in the center of Stratford, where the teaching included an intensive learning of language and literature, Latin and that the history, logic and rhetoric. Even if the registers have not survived, it is in the sense that Shakespeare has attended this school. Nor is there any evidence to show a continued education beyond high school. The theater of the Royal Shakespeare Company at Stratford-upon-Avon On 28, Temple Grafton near Stratford, Shakespeare who was then 18 years wife Anne Hathaway, 8 years his senior. Two neighbors of the bride, and John Fulk Sandalls Richardson published the banns of marriage, meaning that the union did not meet opposition. However, it appears that the ceremony had been organized in haste: Anne was three months pregnant. After his marriage, Shakespeare leaves only a few traces in historical records, before reappearing on the art scene in London. Following the 1580s is known as the era of "lost years" of the playwright's life: we have no evidence to explain the life of the writer during this time, and we can not explain why he left Stratford for London. A legend, now fallen into disrepute, says he was caught in the process of poaching in the park of Sir Thomas Lucy, a local justice of the peace, and therefore had fled to escape prosecution. Another theory suggests that he joined the troupe of the Lord Chamberlain when the actors were Stratford a stage of their tour. The biographer of the seventeenth century John Aubrey's testimony relates to an actor of the troupe Shakespeare, recounting that he spent several years as qu'instituteur. We know that against the 26 May 1583, Susanna, Shakespeare's first child, was baptized in Stratford. Twins, Hamnet and Judith, are baptized some time later, on 2 February 1585. Hamnet, his only son died a few years later to 11 years, we buried 11 August 1596 Many suggest that his death inspired the playwright tragedy Hamlet (ca. 1601), a story built from several influences, including a Danish room (still not found) Hamlet, or Thomas Kyd. London and the theater The Globe Theater in London We lose track of Shakespeare in 1585, when he left Stratford and his wife for a "Desert Crossing" In 1592, Shakespeare returns to London, where he is registered as an actor and playwright. His reputation is enough to be referred by a violent critic Robert, who speaks of him as an "arrogant crow, beautified with our feathers, whose heart of tiger is hidden by the mask of the actor, who assumed it is capable of swallowing a verse as well as the best of you: in addition to being a miserable scribbler, he shows in his dramatic vanity. "- Greene, in his pamphlet because By referring to Henry VI, Part 3, repeating the verse: "Oh, the heart of tiger hidden in the womb of a woman." One can therefore speculate that he had to be on the London stage for a some time. Shakespeare became an actor, writer. It carries out first at the Globe, where he is, with Burbage and other actors, founding partner and supplier, member of the troupe of Lord Strange and then that of Lord Hunsdon, The Lord Chamberlain's Men, for which he wrote exclusively since 1594. The troupe takes its name, as had the time, the patron who submits (Lord Chamberlain, the Minister responsible for royal entertainment. It has long designated as the principal Censor of the British art scene). In addition to playing himself in his own works, we know for example that interprets the spectrum of the father in Hamlet and Adam in As You Like It, it is also one poster parts Ben Jonson: in 1598 Each man in his character (Every Man in His Humor) and in 1603 in Sejanus The company became very popular after the death of Elizabeth I and the coronation of King Jacques I (1603), the new monarch adopted the troupe now known as the "King's Men" (King's Men). Troopers eventually become a resident of the Globe theater. The cast of Shakespeare officiates in the most beautiful theater and is considered the best company in London, which is teeming with theater companies at that time. It competes with a bang with the cast of the Admiral, which Edward Alleyn is the star, and open a second theater, the Blackfriars in 1608. The life of Shakespeare wife closely curve dramatic activities The statue of Shakespeare, Leicester Square In 1604, Shakespeare plays a role in-between for the wedding of the daughter of the owner. Court documents from 1612, when the case is in court, show that in 1604, Shakespeare is a tenant in a craftsman huguenot which manufactures diadems in the north-west London, a certain Christopher Mountjoy (Montjoie). The Apprentice Montjoie Stephen Belott wanted to marry the daughter of his boss; Shakespeare becomes the entremetteur assigned to help negotiate the details of the dowry. On its own promises, marriage takes place. But eight years later, Belott pursues his stepfather to have paid only part of the dowry. Shakespeare was called to testify, but does not remember very vaguely of the case. Later, various documents from the courts or records show that Shakespeare has become rich enough to buy a property in the district of London Blackfriars (north shore of the Thames, the theater district. While living in London it never loses contact with Stratford. In 1597, he bought a nice house, New Place. He installed his family, and grain reserves. He bought other property in his hometown
