William Shakespeare. The last half

William Shakespeare.
The last half of the 16th and the beginning of the 17th centuries are known as the golden age of English literature. It was the time of the English Renaissance, and sometimes it is even called "the age of Shakespeare".
William Shakespeare, the greatest and the most famous of English writers, and probably the greatest playwright who has ever lived, was born in Stratford-on-Avon. We know very little about his life. The things that we know about Shakespeare's life begin with the date when he was baptized in the church of Stratford, on April 26, 1564, when he was only a few days old. So he has believed to have been born on April 23.
Though little is known about William's childhood, there is every reason to believe that he was educated at the local Grammar School. When little over eighteen he married Anne Halthaway of Shottery. William lived in Stratford until he was about twenty-one, when he went to London. We do not know why he left Stratford-on-Avon.
There is a story that Shakespeare's first job in London was holding rich men's horses at the theatre door. But nobody can be sure that this story is true.
Later, Shakespeare became an actor and a member of one of the chief acting companies. Soon he began to write plays for this company and in a few years became a well-known author.
Shakespeare's experience as an actor (although he usually acted only small parts, like the Ghost in Hamlet) helped him greatly in the writing of his plays. His knowledge of the age and his poetical genius made his plays the most wonderful ones ever written.
Shakespeare’s wrote 37 plays. Among them there are deep tragedies, such as «Hamlet», «King Lear» and «Othello».
Macbeth, light comedies, such as «All’s well that Ends well», «Twelfth Night», historical dramas, such as «Henry 4», «Richard 3».
Most of Shakespeare's plays were not published in his lifetime. So some of them may have been lost in the five when the «Globe» burned down in 1613. Shakespeare’s spent the last years of his life at Stratford, where he died in 1616. He was buried in the church of Stratford. A monument was erected to the memory of the great playwright in the Poet's Corner in Westminster Abbey.

Уильям Шекспир. Вторая половина XVI-начале XVII веков известны как Золотой век английской литературы. Это было время английского Ренессанса, а иногда его даже называют «веком Шекспира». Уильям Шекспир, крупнейший и самый известный из английских писателей и, возможно, величайший драматург, который когда-либо жил, родился в Stratford-on-Avon. Мы очень мало знаем о его жизни. То, что мы знаем о жизни Шекспира начинаются с даты, когда он был крещен в церкви Stratford по 26 апреля 1564, когда ему было всего несколько дней назад. Поэтому он поверил родился на 23 апреля. Хотя мало известно о детстве Уильяма, есть все основания полагать, что он получил образование в местной гимназии. Когда чуть более восемнадцати он женился на Анне Halthaway Shottery. Уильям жил в Стратфорде, пока он не был примерно двадцать один год, когда он отправился в Лондон. Мы не знаем, почему он оставил Stratford-on-Avon. Существует история, что первая работа Шекспира в Лондоне была Холдинг богатых мужчин лошадей на двери театра. Но никто не может быть уверен, что эта история имеет значение true. Позже Шекспир стал актер и член одной из главных действующих компаний. Вскоре он начал писать пьесы для этой компании и в течение нескольких лет стал известным автором.
