Venus And Adonis Comedy Of Errors
3,147 wordsThere is no documentary record of Shakespeare's activities from the birth of the twins, in 1585 until Robert Greene's complaint about him as an "upstart crow" in 1592. Biographers have therefore called these the lost years. In fact, there is nothing certain known about him from his birth in 1564 until 1592 except that he was married in 1582, fathered Susanna in 1583 and the twins Judith and Hamlet in 1585, and probably attended Stratford Grammar School. The lack of details has not stopped author...

Lost Years Court Life
851 wordsShakespeare may have made his way to London with this acting troupe, eventually settling there as a playwright and theatre-owner. Allen could well have hired Shakespeare as an actor in London. Though plausible, these theories have been heavily disputed, not least because there is nothing other than the Houston will to connect Shakespeare with Lancashire. For centuries biographers have been puzzled as to how he acquired such a detailed knowledge of the law of his day, and there has been much spec...

Shakespeare Life Lost Years
706 wordsWilliam Shakespeare may well have been the greatest man England has ever produced, but he is also one of the most elusive.

Harold Bloom Shakespeare Plays
2,608 wordsThe speculation about the authorship of Shakespeare's plays has been going forward for nearly 200 years, and many academic theorists say that it does not matter who supplies the texts to the laboratories of critical deconstruction. Harold Bloom, by all odds the most appreciative of our Shakespearean scholars, suggests that too full a knowledge of the playwrights life might cast a pall on the prodigy of his genius. It is enough that the plays exist, spells of light or falls of gentle rain, and, b...

Stratford Upon Avon Shakespeare
862 wordsWilliam Shakespeare: If only he really did look as good as Joseph Fiennes On April 13, 1564, the greatest writer to ever inhabit the Earth was born. Well, okay, we aren? t exactly sure it was April 13. It could have been the 12 th or the 14 th maybe even the 15 th. But we do know he was baptized on April 16 th, so most historians think it was the 13 th. Okay, I just totally ruined my entrance. Can I start again? On April 13, (or 12 or 14 or 15) 1564, the greatest writer to ever inhabit the Earth...
