William Shakespeare Furniture
William Shakespeare was an English playwright, poet and actor in The King’s Men theatrical company. Shakespeare was born in April 1564, in Stratford-upon-Avon. Despite having one of the most recognizable names in history, not much is known about Shakespeare’s personal life. Little can be confirmed about his family, education and young adult life however there is much speculation. Many scholars believe Shakespeare was the son of a public official, educated at King’s New School in Stratford, married Anne Hathaway, and earned his living as an actor and playwright. Some believe that, due to his questionable education, Shakespeare may not have actually authored his works but it is impossible to prove either way. However, Shakespeare became the most prominent playwright of the time, using iambic pentameter, inventing words and is considered by many to be the world’s greatest dramatist. Overall, the impact of his writing remains widespread after nearly 500 years. Shakespeare died in Stratford-upon-Avon, on April 23, 1616.
