all one's life
Most historians believe that the actor and playwright Shakespeare seen in Historical Records are the same person. Shakespeare was born in April 1564 in Stratford, Huste (Stratford upon Avon). His father's name is Jone Shakespeare, and he is a glove merchant. According to records, Shakespeare was baptized on April 26th of that year, and it is generally believed that his birthday is April 23rd (he died on the same day 52 years later). Shakespeare's father was very rich when he was born, but later he was accused of participating in the black market wool trade, and his family came down and lost his position as a city councilman. There is evidence that Shakespeare's parents tend to sympathize with Catholics.
1582165438+1On October 28th, Shakespeare married Anne Hathaway, probably because Hathaway was pregnant with Shakespeare's child. Since then, we have no idea about Shakespeare's whereabouts, except that he appeared in the London Troupe in the 1590 s.
1583 On May 26th, Shakespeare's first daughter Susanna was baptized in her hometown of Trafford. His next son, Hamnet, and his daughter, Judith (twins)-were also baptized on February 2, 585 at/kloc-0.
1596, Hamlet, Shakespeare's only son, died and was buried on 1596+0 in August. Many people think that Shakespeare's famous play Hamlet is to commemorate his son, because the writing of Hamlet is similar to Hamlet.
1597, Shakespeare sold his "one house, two barns, two gardens, two orchards and everything else" in Trafford for 60 pounds and went to London to become a famous actor and writer. He eventually became a partner in a drama company, that is, Lord Chamberlain's man. Like all the troupes at that time, the troupe was named after the nobles who funded it. This troupe was so popular that when Elizabeth I died, James I sponsored it, and it was renamed The King's Man, which has become the highest level of Shakespeare's plays.
Now people know from all kinds of legal documents and commercial contracts at that time that Shakespeare's years in London gradually became rich, which made him buy a house in the rich area of London and own the largest house in his hometown of Trafford.
1609 Shakespeare published his sonnets, many of which were addressed to a mysterious woman ("Lady Dark") and a man ("Justice Lord") (so some people think that Shakespeare may be gay). He left London and the theatre in about 16 1 1 and never published any important works (his last play is generally considered as The Tempest) until his death in 16 16. China's famous playwright Tang Xianzu also died in the same year. A coincidence that is often mentioned is that he died on the same day as Cervantes, another great Spanish writer of his time. Actually, this is not right. Because Spain had adopted the Gregorian calendar at that time, Cervantes died on April 23rd. Although Britain has always adopted julian calendar, April 23rd in julian calendar is actually May 3rd in the Gregorian calendar. So they didn't die on the same day.
identity
Most scholars agree that the writer Shakespeare is indeed the Shakespeare who was born in Trafford and used to be an actor, but this has been a controversial issue for many years. Some people think that people like Francis Bacon and edward de vere are the real authors of some or all of Shakespeare's works, or at least participated in the creation together. But it is undeniable that such works are highly respected in the world literary world.
Some people doubt whether Shakespeare really created all his works, and the question of who is the real author of Shakespeare's works has become a serious academic research topic.
