of London.
Most biographical information about William Shakespeare’ s life derives
From public instead of private documents: vital records, real estate and tax
records, lawsuits, records of payments, and references to Shakespeare and
his works in printed and hand-written texts.

3. His plays
• William Shakespeare's plays have the
reputation of being among the greatest in
the English language and in Western
literature. Traditionally, the plays are
divided into the genres of tragedy, history,
and comedy; they have been translated into
every major living language, in addition to
being continually performed all around the
world. He wrote Romeo & Juliet and
Hamlet.

4. The Globe Theatre
• During his lifetime, Shakespeare's plays were
performed on stages in private theatres, provincial
theatres, and playhouses.
• They were acted out in the yards of bawdy inns
and in the great halls of the London inns of court.
Although the Globe is certainly the most well
known of all the Renaissance stages associated
with Shakespeare and is rightfully the primary
focus of discussion, a brief introduction to some of
the other Elizabethan theatres of the time
provides a more complete picture of the world in
which Shakespeare lived and worked.
