Life and Times of William Shakespeare

The Life and Times of William Shakespeare (I cannot get unto the virtual tour but this is what I found)
The legendary William Shakespeare was a man of many talents. He was gifted in the literary arts; poetry, plays, acting and the works. He came from humble beginings in England, born in Stratford Upon Avon in April of 1564. His mother was Mary Arden and his father was John Shakespeare who was a very prosperous man. William was the third child for his parents out of eight but was the very first surviving boy.He grew to have a wife of his own at age 18, by the name of Anne Hathaway. With her, he had three children. Susana was his first child, then years following, in 1583, she bore him twins: Hamnet and Judith. Hamnet died at eleven years of age.
Little is known of his early manhood after the birth of his children, the time period is called 'lost years' however, records from 1592 and thereafter are much more frequent. Robert Greene in 1592(a prominent writer) before he died wrote a letter of praise to Shakespeare's literary capability. Shakespeare became classified as a famous and exceptional playwright.
Shakespeare first published his poem in April of 1593 called Venus and Adonis which was a great success. His second poem was published in 1594 entitled The Rape of Lucrece. After a plague in London ceased, things returned to normal and Shakespeare had to chance to have a share in a big theatre company in London. Shakespeare, without rival writers at this time, wrote Richard III, Titus Andronicus, The Two Gentlemen of Verona to Romeo and Juliet, A Midsummer's Night and The Merchant of Venice. The company separated and there was a new playhouse soon after that Shakespeare would use. By the summer of 1598 Shakespeare was considered the greatest of all English dramatists.
After 1601, Shakespeare began writing less. He did experiment with different styles in drama. After taking resting from his active career, Shakespeare lived in Stratford Upon Avon and was considered a very important citizen. Both his daughters were married and when he died in 1616, he was burried at the chancel of the church in Stratford before the high altar.
