The Controversy Of William Shakespeare's Early Life

William Shakespeare, one of the greatest authors of all time, was born in Stratford-upon-Avon, United Kingdom. The exact date of his birth is unknown though many historians have come to the agreement that he was born on or near April 23 1564. This assumption is due to the fact that his records show he was baptized on the 26th of April 1564. It is also likely that he attended King Edward VI Grammar School in Stratford. As that would have been typical for a child who’s father was an alderman. What is known is that he did not go to Unversity.

William Shakespeare is a name familiar to nearly every English-speaking person. He is known as a poet, playwright and actor, and is widely regarded as one of the greatest writers in the English language. While many people might know a thing or two about Shakespeare, does anyone stop to think about what the world was like around him? What kind of trials and tribulations did the people of that Era have to face? What type of people did Shakespearian productions attract?

William Shakespeare born on April 23, 1564 contributed deeply to the innovated speech on the subject of playwriting, poetry, and acting. Shakespeare was born in Stratford-upon-Avon, northwest of London. When Shakespeare was eighteen he married Anne Hathaway and had three children. The majority of Shakespeare's life was not just spent in school but in the theatre world in London were he had found and started venturing into the writing profession by the early 1590s. Shakespeare was ambitious when it came to the theatre and always strived for success not only was he a play writer but as an actor. The duration of 1610 to 1613 it was said that Shakespeare had retired from the stage and returned home to Stratford-upon-Avon where he died in 1616. Shakespeare had part taken in many educational institutions, Shakespeare had combined the poetic approach with a practical sense of the theatre. Shakespeare had a innovative mindset when inventing words from Latin, French and Native origins. Shakespeare had written thirty plays, the plays created in the time period were divided into four categories: Comedies, Histories, Romances, and Tragedies. Therefore it can be inferred that the four categories were influenced from some events during Shakespeare's life which caused him to create those genres of plays. During the author's life time there were certain events which influenced the writing of Macbeth.

William Shakespeare was born to John Shakespeare and Mary Arden, a shoemaker and a daughter of an affluent farmer in 1564. He was born on April 23, and baptised two days later.

They had three children together, Susanna, Judith, and Hamnet. Susanna was the first born in 1583, and Judith and Hamnet are twins who were born in 1585.

      Abstract:  The debate over the legitimacy of the authorship of Shakespearean works has been disputed for centuries. While many scholars have held beliefs that Shakespeare's works have been written by figures such as Christopher Marlowe, Francis Bacon, William Stanley, and others, the most heated debate today is between William Shakespeare and Edward DeVere, the Earl of Oxford. Each side of this debate has many followers, the Stratfordians, or those who claim Shakespeare to be the true author, and the Oxfordians who believe that true credit should go to DeVere. My paper, far from being a complete analysis of the possibilities of Shakespearean authorship, attempts to summarize and rationalize the

Shakespeare did not receive any higher level education, however. Hardly anything else is known of the young William Shakespeare’s childhood.
