ABOUT
Shakespeare was born and raised in
Stratford-upon-Avon. At the age of 18, he
married Anne Hathaway, with whom he
had three children: Susanna, and twins
Hamnet and Judith. Between 1585 and
1592, he began a successful career in
London as an actor, writer, and part
owner of a playing company called the
Lord Chamberlain's Men, later known as
the King's Men. He appears to have
retired to Stratford around 1613 at age
49, where he died three years later. Few
records of Shakespeare's private life
survive, and there has been considerable
speculation about such matters as his
physical appearance, sexuality, religious
beliefs, and whether the works attributed
to him were written by others.
EDUCATION
Although no attendance records for the
period survive, most biographers agree
that Shakespeare was probably educated
at the King's New School in Stratford, a
free school chartered in 1553, about a
quarter-mile from his home. Grammar
