He was born in Stratford-upon-Avon in Warwickshire, England, in 1564, and his plays are still performed today more than 400 years after his death. Shakespeare is also renowned for his sonnets, which are among the finest in the English language. Shakespeare was born on April 23rd, 1564 in Stratford-upon-Avon. His father John Shakespeare served as a local magistrate, but died when Will was only 11 years old. The family then fell on hard times and Will had to leave school to help out his mother Joan with their finances. A few years later, he went back to school where he studied Latin literature and rhetoric under Thomas Jenkins at the Free School in Stratford on Avon. When Will left school in 1582 he joined a group of traveling players which included Richard Burbage (who would later play many roles in Shakespeare’s plays) and Edward Alleyn (an actor manager). This group performed throughout England until 1587 when they disbanded due to lack of funds. General Essay Structure for this Topic
