Shakespeare Research task
London life in the time of Shakespeare.
London was extremely busy, crowded and noisy. The rich lived well, with servants, fine clothes and probably a home in the country to which they could escape in times of plague. The poor had to stay in town, living above their shops, or rather better-off merchants having better houses in better parts of town. London was much, much smaller than it is today. Shakespeare would also probably have spent time in taverns in the evenings, and doing business during the day. He might have had dinner in a tavern, and might well have gone to watch the cockfighting and bearbaiting.
William Shakespeare
William Shakespeare (26 April 1564 (baptised) – 23 April 1616) was an English poet and playwrighter, widely regarded as the greatest writer in the English language. William Shakespeare married Anne Hathaway on November 28, 1582, in Worcester, in Canterbury Province. Hathaway was from Shottery, a small village a mile west of Stratford. William was 18 and Anne was 26 at the time of their marriage. Their first child, a daughter they named Susanna, was born on May 26, 1583. Two years later, on February 2, 1585, twins Hamnet and Judith were born. Hamnet later died of unknown causes at age 11. Shakespeare died on 23 April 1616. In his will, Shakespeare left the bulk of his large estate to his elder daughter Susanna. Shakespeare was buried in the chancel of the Holy Trinity Church two days after his death.
