Shakespeare


Shakespeare got married as a very young man. One document, which dates from 28th November 1582, has been preserved, from which we can see that he got married to Anna Hattaway, a girl from Stratford. Anna was eight years older then her husband. It is not known if he truly loved her and for how long their love lasted, but in some parts in his drama we could see that women shouldn't be older then their husbands.
             In 1610 he retired to Stratford where he died. His Literary work encircles narrative poems: Venice and Adon, The Kidnaping of Lucrecie; allegoric elegy: Fenix and The Turtle-dove, and 154 sonnets. The chronology of drama is divided into five periods, which give us the picture of his drama creating progress.
             1. "The age of studying" (1588-1599):.
             comedies: Love's Labors Won, The Suffering of Two Noblemen from Verona, A Midsummer Night's Dream;.
             tragedies: Titus Andronicus, Romeo and Juliet;.
             historical acts: "Henry IV" in three parts, "Richard III", Richard II".
             2. "The age of great comedies" (1595-1600):.

             5. "Romantic period" (1609-1613):.
