My favourite poet:Willam Shakespear
I choose this particular poet because he is particular more well-known to me than any other poet. As he is one of those well-known and deceased people who are still known widely amongst the people of today. Shakespeare was a respected poet and playwright in his own day, but his reputation did not rise to its present heights until the nineteenth century. In the twentieth century, his work was repeatedly adopted and rediscovered by new movements in scholarship and performance. His plays remain highly popular today and are constantly studied, performed and reinterpreted in diverse cultural and political contexts throughout the world.
I believe that William as a man of such great poetry writing must have be very creative and had a vivid imagination. I believe that he has experienced some special thoughts or moments in his life for him to create these wonderful poetry.
William Skakespear has a very interesting early adulthood as he got married at the age of 18 to a 26 year-old relative. His marriage was to Anne Hathaway who is a relative to William and bore him 3 children, 2 girls and 1 boy. The twin boy of the younger daughter died in his boyhood.
Between 1585 and 1592, he began a successful career in London as an actor, writer, and part owner of a playing company called the Lord Chamberlain's Men, later known as the King's Men. He appears to have retired to Stratford around 1613, where he died three years later. Few records of Shakespeare's private life survive, and there has been considerable speculation about such matters as his physical appearance, sexuality, religious beliefs, and whether the works attributed to him were written by others.
Shakespeare produced most of his known work between 1589 and 1613.[4] His early plays were mainly comedies and histories, genres he raised to the peak of sophistication and artistry by the end of the sixteenth century. He then wrote mainly tragedies until about 1608, including Hamlet, King Lear, and Macbeth, considered some of the finest works in the English language. In his last phase, he wrote tragicomedies, also known as romances, and collaborated with other playwrights. Many of his plays were published in editions of varying quality and accuracy during his lifetime. In 1623, two of his former theatrical colleagues published the First Folio, a collected edition of his dramatic works that included all but two of the plays now recognised as Shakespeare's.
