W. Shakespeare

W. Shakespeare was the greatest English writer. He was born in 1564 in Stratford-upon-Avon. At the age of 18 he married Anne Hathaway, who was eight years older than himself. A few years later he moved to London, where he worked as an actor and a playwright.

Shakespeare wrote 37 plays and 154 sonnets. His most famous plays are the four great tragedies – Othello, Macbeth, Hamlet and King Lear. He also wrote several historical plays. But not all of his plays were serious. He also wrote comedies. Shakespeare died in Stratford-upon-Avon on April 23, 1616, but his plays are still very popular today. They have been translated into several different languages, and many of them have been made into films, both in English and other languages.
