　　William Shakespeare, who is perhaps the greatest writer in the history of the world, was looked upon in his own day as little more than a writer of popular plays. Yet in this lies the key to his greatness. The theatre of his day gave him freedom, and, he in return gave it the best that was in him.

　　Shakespeare was born in 1564, far from London, in the little English town of Stratford on the river Avon. He is usually believed to have been born on April 23, but all that is known for certain is that he was baptized(受洗) on Sunday, April 26．Stratford was a busy little town, and Shakespeare's father, a rich businessman, had been its mayor for a time. Shakespeare grew up in a comfortable house on Henley Street with several small brothers and sisters.

　　All the boys in Stratford went to the same school as soon as they could read and write, and they learned the same subject：Latin. Perhaps Shakespeare was lucky not to go on to a university. Instead, at 18 he married Anne Hathaway who was 8 years older than him and was the daughter of a neighboring farmer. They had three children.

　　After the birth of the children, there's record of what Shakespeare did from 1585 to 1592 until he was mentioned as a London actor. It was in London, not Stratford, that Shakespeare got his education, learning not only the ways of the theatre but nearly everything else. He read books and met many people－foreigners, old soldiers, the whole lively civilization of that time. London was a port city of 250, 000 people, and Shakespeare could not have come to it at a better time.
