William Shakespeare

Author

William Shakespeare was born in April 1564 in Stratford-upon-Avon and died there in 1616.  His work in the professional theatre seems to have begun in the early 1590s (his first known play is probably The Two Gentlemen of Verona) and by 1595 he had made the association with the Chamberlain’s Men (subsequently the King’s Men) that was to last until his retirement. Love’s Labour’s Lost, Romeo and Juliet, Richard II and A Midsummer Night’s Dream were probably composed in 1594-95. Between the mid- 1590s and 1602 he wrote a group of romantic comedies: The Merchant of Venice (1596-7), Much Ado about Nothing (probably 1598), As You Like It (1599-1600) and Twelfth Night (probably 1601-2). These years also saw the two parts of King Henry IV, Henry V, King John and Julius Caesar.  During the first years of the 17th century Shakespeare produced five tragic dramas: Hamlet, Othello, Macbeth and Antony and Cleopatra and King Lear. In the same years he also wrote plays that were barely comedies but not clearly tragedies: Troilus and Cressida, Measure for Measure and All’s Well That Ends Well. In his last active years Shakespeare seems to have favoured stories with a freer, romantic range of incidents and characters, though in all of them the principal characters have to overcome serious threats to their happiness and lives: The Winter’s Tale, Cymbeline, Pericles and The Tempest. The last of these, with Prospero the magician resigning his powers has often been interpreted as a statement by the dramatist contemplating retirement from the London theatre. Shakespeare’s last known dramatic works seem to have been the collaborations with John Fletcher on The Two Noble Kinsmen and All Is True (also known as King Henry VIII), both performed in 1613.
