1616William Shakespeare is not only England’s most famous
poet and playwright, but perhaps also the greatest
writer in the world has ever known. Even today his works are read more widely than
those of any writer.
At the age of 18 he married Anne Hathaway, who was then 26. At some time around 1588
he went to London, joined a theatre company as an actor and
began writing plays.His plays were soon very
popular and he became quite a rich man. He bought New
Place, one of the largest houses in Stratford, and in 1599 the Globe theatre in London was
built.
While Shakespeare was regarded as the foremost dramatist of his time.
Shakespeare's sonnets were composed between 1593 and 1601. The Sonnets of Shakespeare, consists of 154 sonnets, all written in the form of three quatrains and a couplet that is now recognized as
Shakespearean. The sonnets fall into two groups: sonnets
1-126, addressed to a beloved friend, a handsome and noble young man, and sonnets 127-152, to a malignant but
fascinating "Dark Lady”.

tragedies, and romances.

"Titus Andronicus" is the most violent creation of
Shakespeare. The villainy theatre of
this tragedy is impressive: thirty four corpses, fourteen
kills, three severed hands
and even one cutting tongue.
