Shakespeare, William
Shakespeare, William (1564–1616) English poet and dramatist. By 1592 he was established in London, having already written the three parts of
Henry VI. By 1594, Shakespeare was a member of the Lord Chamberlain's Men, and in 1599 a partner in the
Globe Theatre, where many of his plays were presented. He retired to
Stratford upon Avon around 1613. His 154
Sonnets, which were first published in 1609, stand among the finest works in
English literature. The plays are usually divided into four groups – historical plays, comedies, tragedies, and late romances. Shakespeare's plots are generally drawn from existing sources, such as Holinshed.
