William Shakespeare facts are few and far between. While we know alot about the playwright’s works, Shakespeare facts concerning the Bard’s personal life are less forthcoming.
Nobody knows Shakespeare’s true birthday. The closest we can come is the date of his baptism on April the 26th, 1564. By tradition and guesswork, William is assumed to have been born three days earlier on April the 23rd, a date now commonly used to celebrate the famous Bard’s birthday. Read the rest of this entry »

The works of William Shakespeare have wowed readers all over the world for years. Here’s a look at the timeline of William Shakespeare, which makes a mention of some important events in his life.

“To be, or not to be: that is the question:
Whether ’tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune,
Or to take arms against a sea of troubles,
And by opposing end them? To die: to sleep;
No more; and by a sleep to say we end
The heartache and the thousand natural shocks
That flesh is heir to, ’tis a consummation
Devoutly to be wish’d. To die, to sleep;
To sleep: perchance to dream: ay, there’s the rub;
For in that sleep of death what dreams may come
When we have shuffled off this mortal coil.” Read the rest of this entry »

Although Romeo and Juliet is classified as a tragedy, it more closely resembles Shakespeare’s comedies than his other tragedies. The lovers and their battle with authority is reminiscent of As You Like It and The Winter’s Tale. “Characteristically, those comedies concern themselves with the inborn, unargued stupidity of older people and the life-affirming gaiety and resourcefulness of young ones. The lovers thread their way through obstacles set up by middle aged vanity and impercipience. Parents are stupid and do not know what it best for their children or themselves . . . [Romeo and Juliet] begins with the materials for a comedy – the stupid parental generation, the instant attraction of the young lovers, the quick surface life of street fights, masked balls and comic servants” (Wain 107). Indeed, one could view Romeo and Juliet as a transitional play in which Shakespeare merges the comedic elements perfected in his earlier work with tragic elements he would later perfect in the great tragedies — Hamlet, Othello, Read the rest of this entry »

The best information regarding the date of Romeo and Juliet comes from the title page of the first Quarto, which tells us that the play “hath been often (with great applause) plaid publiquely, by the right Honourable the L. of Hunsdon his servants.”
This reference would indicate that the play was composed no later than 1596, because Hunsdon’s acting troupe went by a different name after this date. Moreover, “[m]any critics have placed it as early as 1591, on account of the Nurse’s reference in I.iii.22 to the earthquake of eleven years before, identifying this with an earthquake felt in England in 1580″ (Neilson, Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, 36). But the earliest performance of Romeo and Juliet actually documented was in 1662, staged by William Davenant, the poet and playwright who insisted that he was Shakespeare’s illegitimate son.
