Shakespeare's reputation as dramatist

and poet actor is unique and he is

considered by many to be the greatest

playwright of all time, although many of

the facts of his life remain mysterious.

William Shakespeare was born in

Stratford-upon-Avon in Warwickshire and

was baptised on 26 April 1564. His

father was a glovemaker and wool

merchant and his mother, Mary Arden,

the daughter of a well-to-do local

landowner. Shakespeare was probably

educated in Stratford's grammar school.

Mary Arden`s house, three

miles northwest of

Stratford. Here lived

Shakespeare`s mother. This

is a typical farm house of

the period.

John Shakespeare lived and

kept his shop in this house. His

eight children were born here.

Two of them died young.

This is the schoolroom where

Shakespeare was educated, as

many people believe. It is still

in use.

The next documented event in

Shakespeare's life is his marriage in 1582

to Anne Hathaway, daughter of a farmer.

The couple had a daughter the following

year and twins in 1585. There is now

another gap, referred to by some scholars

as 'the lost years', with Shakespeare only

reappearing in London in 1592, when he

was already working in the theatre.

Anne Hathaway's cottage, a

mile from Stratford, where

she was born in 1556, and

lived until she married

William Shakespeare in 1582.

This is the place where the

house in which Shakespeare died

used to be. It was a big house

bought by William Shakespeare

for his family when he was still

in London. Here he spent the

last years of his life.

Unfortunately, the house was

destroyed.

This is the Holy Trinity Church

where Shakespeare was buried.

Visitors coming to Stratford admire

the best of the church and honour

his memory. It is interesting that he

died on his birthday, 23 April,

1616.

Another memorial to William

Shakespeare is the Royal

Shakespeare Theatre. The

present building was constructed

in 1932. The first building was

opened on Shakespeare’s

birthday in 1879 and destroyed

by fire in 1926.

The bronze statue of

Shakespeare, presented

to Stratford by Lord

Ronald Sutherland

Gower in 1888.

Shakespeare’s figure is

high above the ground

and on the ground there

are small figures of

Shakespeare’s famous

characters.

Shakespeare's acting career was spent

with the Lord Chamberlain's Company,

which was renamed the King's Company in

1603 when James succeeded to the throne.

Among the actors in the group was the

famous Richard Burbage. The partnership

acquired interests in two theatres in the

Southwark area of London, near the banks

of the Thames - the Globe and the

Blackfriars.

Then happy I, that love and am belov'd,

Where I may not remove nor be remov'd.

Но нет угрозы титулам моим

Пожизненным: любил, люблю, любим.

The English language since Shakespeare has changed. This

table contains certain words and grammatical forms, which

were often used by Shakespeare, but fell out of use in modern

English.

Let those who are in favour with their stars

Of public honour and proud titles boast,

Whilst I, whom fortune of such triumph bars

Unlook'd for joy in that I honour most.

Great princes' favourites their fair leaves spread

But as the marigold at the sun's eye,

And in themselves their pride lies buried,

For at a frown they in their glory die.

The painful warrior famoused for fight,

After a thousand victories once foil'd,

Is from the book of honour razed quite,

And all the rest forgot for which he toil'd:

Then happy I, that love and am belov'd,

Where I may not remove nor be remov'd.

Кто под звездой счастливою рожден -

Гордится славой, титулом и властью.

А я судьбой скромнее награжден,

И для меня любовь - источник счастья.

Под солнцем пышно листья распростер

Наперсник принца, ставленник вельможи.

Но гаснет солнца благосклонный взор,

И золотой подсолнух гаснет тоже.

Военачальник, баловень побед,

В бою последнем терпит пораженье,

И всех его заслуг потерян след.

Его удел - опала и забвенье.

Но нет угрозы титулам моим

Пожизненным: любил, люблю, любим.
