 Shakespeare
was born and grew up in a smallish town called Stratford, in 1564.
He had four surviving siblings, and his father (John) was a well-off
craftsman and merchant. We have very little information on
Shakespeare’s mother (Mary Arden), though we do know she came from
an ancient family and was heiress to some land.
During the early years of Shakespeare’s life, his dad was a
prominent citizen who held governmental posts in Stratford and
purchased land, though he seems to have fallen on hard times during
Shakespeare’s teenage years.
