Shakespeare was born in Stratford-upon-Avon, England, in April 1564, the son of John Shakespeare, a glove-maker, and of Mary Arden.
Shakespeare's father, prosperous at the time of William's birth, was prosecuted for participating in the fl market in wool, and later lost his position as an alderman.
Shakespeare died in 1616, on April 23 — perhaps part of the reason behind the tradition of his birthday being the same day.
Shakespeare is widely regarded as the greatest writer in the English language, as well as one of the greatest in Western literature, and the world's pre-eminent dramatist.
Shakespeare is believed to have produced most of his work between 1586 and 1616, although the exact dates and chronology of the plays attributed to him are often uncertain.
Shakespeare is buried in the chancel of Holy Trinity Church in Stratford-upon-Avon.
