William Shakespeare was an English playwright, poet, and actor. William Shakespeare was born on April 23, 1564, in Stratford-upon-Avon, England. No one knows anything about his childhood. Shakespeare's school years, he probably attended the Stratford grammar school and studied the classics, Latin grammar and literature. Though little read and performed today, Shakespeare's first plays in the popular history genre (particular style) are equally ambitious and impressive. Shakespeare's work has continued to seem to each generation like its own most precious discovery. He got married at 18 to Ann Hathaway and had 3 kids with her. His value to his own age is suggested by the fact that two fellow actors performed the virtually unprecedented (never done before) act in 1623 of gathering his plays together and publishing them in the Folio edition. Without their efforts, since Shakespeare was apparently not interested in publication, many of the plays would not have survived. He pasted away on April 23, 1616 on his own birthday.
