William Shakespeare’s father, John Shakespeare, was one of the wealthiest citizens, because he was a glove maker and also held several government positions, including Mayor of Stratford. William Shakespeare’s mother, Mary Arden, belonged to an ancient and distinguished Catholic family.

John Shakespeare had eight children. William was their third child and the eldest son. John Shakespeare lived and kept his shop in this house.

William Shakespeare was christened in Holy Trinity Church.

He attended Stratford Grammar school, where besides reading and writing, he was taught Latin. It is still in use. "... around forty boys would have been taught in this room..."

1. What were his parent’s names? 2. How many children did John and Mary have? 3. How many daughters and sons did John and Mary have? 4. Who of their children lived less than 10 years? 5. How many children did William and Anne have? 6. How many grandchildren did William and Anne have?

In 1587 Shakespeare went to work in London, leaving Anne and the children at home. We don’t know exactly why he did it. Some people say that the reason was his love of poetry and theatre. But there is another story which says that he had to run away from law because he killed some deer belonging to a rich man. In London Shakespeare began to act and to write plays and soon became an important member of a well-known acting company.

In Shakespeare's days, there were no actresses, so boys played the parts of women. The plays in this theatre usually lasted for three days. Shakespeare's success in London theatres made him wealthy. W. Shakespeare began working in the Globe Theatre.

Besides, he composed 154 sonnets. Сонет – самый четко организованный стихотворный жанр, в нем всегда 14 строк. Первые восемь строк - два четверостишия, последние шесть строк – два трехстишия. Цикл (поэма) из 15 связанных сонетов называют «венком сонетов». Требования к данному жанру были очень строгими: стоило автору добавить в конце три строчки, как сонет получал название «хвостатый». Если упускалось одно первое четверостишие – «безголовый». Строго нормировалось чередование рифм, не допускалось повторение слов. Однако, несмотря на такое обилие требований, сонет процветал столетия.
