William ShakespeareWilliam Shakespeare (1564-1616) was an English poet, dramatist, and actor. He attended grammar school, where he learned Latin, history, and poetry. He did not go on to a university, instead marrying Anne Hathaway at the age of 18. It's unknown what he did for the next 8 years of his life. In 1582, Shakespeare was mentioned in a pamphlet written by another dramatist, Robert Greene. The mention was not complimentary, calling him an "upstart crow." Beginning in 1594, he was a member of the Lord Chamberlin company of players (also called The King's Men). The troupe performed at the Globe Theater. From the writings of most of his colleagues, he was a well-loved and respected man. Shakespeare wrote his complete works in 20 years. He died in 1616; his beloved Anne lived to 1623.
