Extractions: Next only to William Shakespeare , Samuel Johnson is perhaps the most quoted of English writers. The latter part of the eighteenth century is often (in English-speaking countries, of course) called, simply, the Age of Johnson. Johnson was born in Lichfield, Staffordshire, England, in 1709. His mother did not have enough milk for him, and so he was put out to nurse. From his nurse he contracted a tubercular infection called scrofula, which inflamed the lymph glands and spread to the optic and auditory nerves, leaving him deaf in the left ear, almost blind in the left eye, and dim of vision in the right eye. It also left scar tissue which disfigured his face, as did a later childhood bout with small-pox. Young Johnson responded to his disabilities by a fierce determination to be independent and to accept help and pity from no one. When he was three or four years old, a household servant regularly took him to school and walked him home again. One day the servant was not there in time, and Johnson started for home by himself. Coming to an open ditch across the street, he got down on all fours to peer at it before attempting to cross. His teacher had followed to watch him, and now approached to help. He spied her, and angrily pushed her away. Throughout his life, he feared that ill health would tempt him to self-indulgence and self-pity, and bent over backwards to resist the temptation. He had an uncle who was a local boxing champion, and who taught him to fight, so that years later he walked without fear in the worst sections of London. Once four robbers attacked him, and he held his own until the watch arrived and arrested them.

Extractions: Shakespeare to Shakespeare Shakespeare, William Every Man in his Humour and Sejanus , and in Hamlet As You Like It . By 1595 Shakespeare was famous and prosperous; his earlier plays had been written and acted, and his poems Venus and Adonis , and Lucrece , and probably most of the sonnets, had been published and received with extraordinary favour. He had also powerful friends and patrons, including the Earl of Southampton, and was known at Court. By the end of the century he is mentioned by Francis Meres ( q.v .) as the greatest man of letters of the day, and his name had become so valuable that it was affixed by unscrupulous publishers to works, e.g. Locrine, Oldcastle , and The Yorkshire Tragedy , by other and often very inferior hands. He had also resumed a close connection with Stratford, and was making the restoration of the family position there the object of his ambition. In accordance with this he induced his flourished to apply for a grant of arms, which was given, and he Created by PanEris using Melati Previous chapter Back Home Email this ...

Extractions: "If this were played on a stage now, I could condemn it as an improbable fiction" ( Twelfth Night We know relatively little of the life of Britain's greatest playwright. Although renowned during his own lifetime for his genius, he was still of comparatively low birth, and therefore not written about by the scribes who recorded the lives of Shakespeare's higher-born peers such as Donne and Marvell. Shakespeare's birthday is traditionally thought to be April 23rd, 1564. Parish records from the Holy Trinity Church in Stratford Upon Avon show that he was baptized there on April 26th. His father was a civil servant, well respected in the town of Stratford, who married above his station, a woman by the name of Mary Arden. Stratford was a well-run town, and Shakespeare attended a good school whose fees were paid by the progressive local borough. Shakespeare did not attend university. Instead, in 1582, he married Anne Hathaway. The next year, they had their first daughter, Susanna, and then two years later, two twins, Judith and Hamnet, Shakespeare's only son. Shakespeare began to write, and the next we know of him is when his plays began to be performed upon the London stage. He was a member of the Lord Chamberlain's Men (an acting company which was renamed 'The King's Men' on the accession to the throne of James I). Shakespeare's son, Hamnet, died at the age of eleven and many say this is why Hamlet is so-called. It is certain that this was a time of great anguish for Shakespeare and corresponds with the omposition of some of the most somber tragedies. Shakespeare enjoyed critical and popular success throughout the latter days of his life and died on April 23rd (his birthday), 1616, a wealthy man. Exact dates for the composition and performance of many of Shakespeare's plays is unknown, and in some cases even the authorship is in question. However, the following is a list of the plays in as close to chronological order of composition as is it is possible to estimate:
