About the Author

Born in Stratford-upon-Avon in Warwickshire in April 1564, Shakespeare is widely considered to be the world’s greatest dramatist and the most influential writer in English. Along with at least 38 plays, he wrote over 150 sonnets and three longer narrative poems. In the late 1500s Shakespeare is noted as being in London, a member of a leading theatrical company, The Lord Chamberlain’s Men who performed at the original Globe Theatre. They became The King’s Men following the death of Queen Elizabeth I in 1603. Shakespeare retired to Stratford-upon-Avon where he died on 23 April 1616.
