William shekespeare

(Stratford on Avon, UK, 1564-id., 1616) Playwright and poet. Three of the eight children of John Shakespeare, a wealthy merchant and local politician and Mary Arden, whose family had suffered religious persecution resulting from their Catholic faith, little or nothing is known about the childhood and adolescence of William Shakespeare. It seems likely to study in the Grammar School in his hometown, although it is unknown how many years and in what circumstances.

According to a contemporary of his, William Shakespeare learned "small Latin and less Greek," and in any case it seems also likely to leave school early because of the difficulties that his father was going through, whether they derived from their economic or political career .
