I. Body

William Shakespeare was a respected poet and playwright in his own day, but

his reputation did not rise to its present heights until the 19th century. The Romantics, in

particular, acclaimed Shakespeare's genius, and the Victorians worshipped

Shakespeare with a reverence that George Bernard Shaw called "bardolatry". In the

20th century, his work was repeatedly adopted and rediscovered by new movements in

scholarship and performance. His plays remain highly popular today and are constantly

studied, performed, and reinterpreted in diverse cultural and political contexts

throughout the world.

William Shakespeare (baptised 26 April 1564; died 23 April 1616) was

an Englishpoet and playwright, widely regarded as the greatest writer in the English

language and the world's pre-eminent dramatist. He is often called England's national

poet and the "Bard of Avon".

Shakespeare was born and brought up in Stratford-upon-Avon. At the age of 18,

he marriedAnne Hathaway, with whom he had three children: Susanna, and

twins Hamnet and Judith. 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. Few records of

Shakespeare's private life survive, and there has been considerable speculation about

such matters as his physical appearance, sexuality, religious beliefs, and whether the

works attributed to him were written by others.

Shakespeare died on 23 April 1616 and was survived by his wife and two

daughters. Susanna had married a physician, John Hall, in 1607, and Judith had

married Thomas Quiney, a vintner, two months before Shakespeares death.

In his will, Shakespeare left the bulk of his large estate to his elder daughter

Susanna. The terms instructed that she pass it down intact to "the first son of her

body". The Quineys had three children, all of whom died without marrying. The Halls

had one child, Elizabeth, who married twice but died without children in 1670, ending

Shakespeares direct line. Shakespeare's will scarcely mentions his wife, Anne, who

was probably entitled to one third of his estate automatically. He did make a point,

however, of leaving her "my second best bed", a bequest that has led to much

speculation. Some scholars see the bequest as an insult to Anne, whereas others

believe that the second-best bed would have been the matrimonial bed and therefore

rich in significance.

Shakespeare was buried in the chancel of the Holy Trinity Church two days after his

death. The epitaph carved into the stone slab covering his grave includes

acurse against moving his bones, which was carefully avoided during restoration of the

church in 2008.

II.Works

Comedies "Comedy", in its Elizabethan usage, had a very different

meaning from modern comedy. A Shakespearean comedy is one that has a

happy ending, usually involving marriages between the unmarried characters,

and a tone and style that is more light-hearted than Shakespeare's other plays.

Patterns in the comedies include movement to a "green world", both internal and

external conflicts, and a tension betweenApollonian and Dionysian values.

His Comidy works:All's Well That Ends Well ,As You Like It, The Comedy of

Errors, Love's Labour's Lost, Measure for Measure , The Merchant of Venice,

The Merry Wives of Windsor, A Midsummer Night's Dream, Much Ado About

Nothing, Pericles, Prince of Tyre *, The Taming of the Shrew, The Tempest *,

Twelfth Night, The Two Gentlemen of Verona, The Two Noble Kinsmen * and

The Winter's Tale * (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakespearean_comedy)

Shakespeare's sonnets are a collection of 154 sonnets, dealing with

themes such as the passage of time, love, beauty and mortality, first published in

a 1609 quarto entitled SHAKE-SPEARES SONNETS.: Never before

1599 miscellanyThe Passionate Pilgrim). The quarto ends with "A Lover's

Complaint", a narrative poem of 47 seven-line stanzas written in rhyme royal.

The first 17 poems, traditionally called the procreation sonnets, are addressed to

a young man urging him to marry and have children in order to immortalise his

beauty by passing it to the next generation. Other sonnets express the speaker's

love for a young man; brood upon loneliness, death, and the transience of life;

seem to criticise the young man for preferring a rival poet; express ambiguous

feelings for the speaker's mistress; and pun on the poet's name. The final two

sonnets are allegorical treatments of Greek epigrams referring to the "little love-

god" Cupid.

The publisher, Thomas Thorpe, entered the book in the Stationers' Registeron

20 May 1609:

Tho. Thorpe. Entred for his copie under the handes of master Wilson and master

Lownes Wardenes a booke called Shakespeares sonnettes vjd.

Whether Thorpe used an authorised manuscript from Shakespeare or an

unauthorised copy is unknown. George Eld printed the quarto, and the run was

divided between the booksellers William Aspley and John Wright.

The histories were those plays based on the lives ofEnglish kings.

Therefore they can be more accurately called the "English history plays," a less

common designation. Macbeth, set in the mid-11th century during the reigns

ofDuncan I of Scotland and Edward the Confessor, was classed as a tragedy,

not a history, as were the plays that depict older historical figures such

as Coriolanus, Julius Caesar,Antony and Cleopatra and the legendary King

Lear. These latter plays, however, are often included in modern studies of

Shakespeare's treatment of history.

His historical works: King John, Richard II, Henry IV, Part 1, Henry IV, Part 2,

Henry V, Henry VI, Part 1 , Henry VI, Part 2, Henry VI, Part 3, Richard III and

Henry VIII (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakespearean_history)

Shakespeare wrote tragedies from the beginning of his career. One of his

earliest plays was the Roman tragedy Titus Andronicus, which he followed a few

years later with Romeo and Juliet. However, his most admired tragedies were

written in a seven-year period between 1601 and 1608. These include his four

major tragedies Hamlet, Othello, King Learand Macbeth, along withAntony &

Cleopatra,Coriolanus and the lesser-known Timon of Athens and Troilus and

Cressida (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakespearean_tragedy)

The Shakespeare Apocrypha is a group of plays and poems that have

sometimes been attributed to William Shakespeare, but whose attribution is

questionable for various reasons. The issue is separate from the debate

on Shakespearean authorship, which addresses the authorship of the works

traditionally attributed to Shakespeare.

III. His Influence

William Shakespeare's influence extends from theatre and literature to

present-day movies and the English language itself. Widely regarded as the

greatest writerof the English language, and the world's pre-eminent

dramatist, Shakespeare transformed European theatre by expanding

expectations about what could be accomplished

through characterization, plot, language and genre. Shakespeare's writings

have also influenced a large number of notable novelists and poets over the

years, including Herman Melville, and Charles Dickens. Shakespeare is the

second-most-quoted writer in the history of the English-speaking world after

the various writers of the Bible, and many of his quotations

and neologisms have passed into everyday usage in English and other

languages.
