Shakespeare's biography

"But with all my education I can’t seem to command it
And the words are all escaping, and coming back all damaged
And I would put them back in poetry if I only knew how
I can’t seem to understand it"
"All This And Heaven Too" - Florence + The Machine
   
William Shakespeare, considered the greatest writer in the English language, was born in Stratford-upon-Avon in 1564. During his lifetime, he wrote 38 plays, 154 sonets and some other poems. He is best known for his plays, which have been translated to every major language.

He married Anne Hathaway when he was 18 years old, and they had three children. After he went to London to work as an actor and as a writer, the Globe Theater was built, in 1599, near the river Thames; it was where some of Shakespeare's plays were first performed. 14 years later the theater was destroyed by a fire.

Shakespeare is still known all over the world nowadays, maybe because of the fantastic element of his stories or the action in them...
