[Type text] [Type text] [Type text] Price 10 Joshua Price Van Dyke-London ENG 102 Research Paper March 23, 2016 William Shakespeare was born on April 23, 1564, in Stratford-upon-Avon to John Shakespeare and Mary Arden. Shakespeare was assumedly educated at the King?s New School in Stratford with an ?emphasis on the Latin classics, including memorization, writing, and acting classic Latin plays,? writes an article entitled Shakespeare?s Life, found on Foldger Shakespeare Library. He most likely attended until around age fifteen. In late 1582, Shakespeare at age 18 married Anne Hathaway, who was 26. Anne gave birth to a daughter, Susanna, and then twins, son Hamnet, and daughter Judith. However, Hamnet, Shakespeare?s only son, soon died in 1596 at the age of eleven. Many assume the demise of Shakespeare?s son Hamnet influenced the writing of Hamlet. Shakespeare ventured to London for work while Anne and the children remained in Stratford, where she would remain the rest of her life. In an article entitled Shakespeare?s Life, found on Foldger Shakespeare Library, it suggests, ?that this separation, and the couple 's relatively few children, were signs of a strained marriage, but we do not know that, either.? However, the article later goes on to note that ?someone pursuing a theater career had no choice but to work in London, and many branches of the Shakespeares had small families.? The years between 1585 and 1592 are referred as Shakespeare 's "lost years? for not much is
At 18, Shakespeare married Anne Hathaway, a 26 year old woman from a neighboring town. When they wed Anne was three months pregnant. They had their first child, Susanna was born in 1583. Anne and William also had twins, Hamnet and Judith in 1585. The "lost years" of Shakespeare's life took place in the following 7 years.

It is generally accepted that Shakespeare arrived in London in the late 1580s.
William Shakespeare is a loved play writer and author by many people around the world. William Shakespeare born on April 26, 1564 in Stratford-upon-Avon, United Kingdom, was one of the world's best known and most loved play writers, and poem writers. Shakespeare's parents were John Shakespeare (his father) and Mary Shakespeare (his mother). John Shakespeare was a leather and wool worker and money lender, and Mary Shakespeare was a stay at home mom. William Shakespeare was baptized at the Holy Trinity Church which was located in Stratford-Upon-Avon.
William Shakespeare was possibly born on about April 23, 1564. . He was John and Mary Shakespeare's oldest surviving child. Their first two children were both girls but did not live beyond infancy. Growing up as the big brother of the family, William had three younger brothers, Gilbert, Richard, and Edmund, and two younger sisters: Anne, who died at seven, and Joan.
At that time, William was 18 and Anne was 26 and pregnant, six months after the wedding she gave birth to their daughter, Susanna. Two years later, Anne Hathaway gave birth to twins, a son named Hamnet and a daughter named Judith. Hamnet later died died at age 11 of unknown causes. “Shakespeare had a arranged marriage with Anne Hathaway, who gave birth to their daughter Susanna(1583)and the twins Judith and Hamnet(1585)” (Bleiberg). After the birth of the twins, seven years of Shakespeare’s life was nonexistent. Scholars call this duration the “lost years”, also many people wondered what he was doing during this period. “After the birth of the twins, there are seven years of William Shakespeare's life where no records exist. Scholars call this period the "lost years," and there is wide speculation on what he was doing during this period” (Biography.com). So how did Shakespeare support himself and his family? Where did he live? When and why did he leave Stratford and set out for London theatrical world? No one knows, but in 1592 Shakespeare became popular enough to be hated by becoming as both an actor and a playwright. “We do know that by 1592 he had achieved some prominence in London as both an actor and a playwright” (Shakespeare, Romeo and Juliet

William Shakespeare was born in Stratford on April 23, 1564 and he was later baptized on April 26, 1564. His parents were John Shakespeare and Mary Arden. William was the third of eight children, three of which died in childhood. John was a merchant and high bailiff in Stratford. Because he held a position of an official in Stratford, his children would likely have been waived tuition for their education. Although there are no records to prove it, historians infer that Shakespeare went to the Stratford Grammar School due to his knowledge of Latin and Classical Greek. Because his tuition was waived, Shakespeare was able to learn writing free of cost, and this likely had a huge effect on the brilliance of his writing later in his life.
