William Shakespeare
Died in 1616
William Shakespeare was born in 1564, the son of a glover of Stratford-upon-Avon, and went up to London, where he was an actor, a writer and a partner in the company of the Chamberlain's Men, which became the King's Men in 1603, on the accession of James I. At least thirty-eight plays and one hundred and fifty-four sonnets are attributed to him. He retired to Stratford and died in 1616; the collection published in 1623 by two of his fellow actors, John Heminge and Henry Condell, saved eighteen plays of which no printed text existed.
