About William Shakespeare Auththor of The Complete works of William Shakespeare Pdf Book
William Shakespeare Author of The Complete Works of William Shakespeare Pdf was an English poet and playwright, widely regarded as the greatest writer in the English language and the world’s pre-eminent dramatist. He is often called England’s national poet and the “Bard of Avon” (or simply “The Bard”). His surviving works consist of 38 plays, 154 sonnets, two long narrative poems, and several other poems. His plays have been translated into every major living language, and are performed more often than those of any other playwright.
Shakespeare was born and raised in Stratford-upon-Avon. Scholars believe that he died on his fifty-second birthday, coinciding with St George’s Day.At the age of 18 he married Anne Hathaway, who bore him three children: Susanna, and twins Hamnet and Judith. Between 1585 and 1592 he began a successful career in London as an actor, writer, and part owner of the playing company 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 sexuality, religious beliefs, and whether the works attributed to him were written by others.

The Complete Works of William Shakespeare Book Reviews
5.0 out of 5 stars The Bard spoke to love, loss
Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 11, 2015

Shakespeare is the master! He wrote about timeless themes, whether in poems, plays, or his signature sonnets (which are also poems), The Bard spoke to love, loss, betrayal, murder, manipulation, and everything else you can think of. His plays were neo-classical, written in the way of the Greeks, and his language was always emotive, charged with life, energy, and every emotion imaginable. He wrote of the human condition, and it seems that women always held a special place. In Othello, it was really Desdemona who was the hero, always constant, truthful, and devoted to the bitter end. In The Merchant of Venice, it’s Portia, disguised as a man, who comes to the rescue; after studying the contract between Shylock and Antonio, she finds the loophole that saves Antonio–Shylock is certainly entitled to his pound of flesh, but because the contract mentions nothing of blood, Shylock must find a way to remove the flesh but leave the blood, which is impossible, so the contract is void. In Macbeth, it’s Lady Macbeth who drives the action.
Shakespeare does things that are still used today. Through the soliloquy, he breaks the fourth wall and has his characters address the audience, often making them privy to knowledge of which other characters are denied until it comes to light through the interactions between the various characters. Shakespeare broke with so many conventions, created new ones, and spoke of topics that were so universal that many stories in today’s top plays, movies, and TV shows are based in some way on something about which Shakespeare wrote!
Even the language of Shakespeare is special. The way he delineates high born from low is so specific. The high born always speak in poetry, while the low born lines are written in prose, making it easy to tell the characters apart, though it’s often the low born who speak the plain truth, with the folks and jesters speaking to kings and lords in ways that would get most people killed.
In the sonnets, the language is used to convey emotion in a way that would otherwise make it difficult to tell the object off the speaker’s affection. Also, it’s not just the words alone but the cadence of the words and how the words are spoken that gives special weight to some words and softens other words so that the meaning of the whole is clear to anyone who hears the sonnets and poems.
As an English someone who holds an interdisciplinary degree (an MFA) in English Lit & Creative Writing, many of these works were required courses of study & were massively formative in my education. Furthermore, as a philosophy student as an undergraduate, it’s easy to see the philosophy in his work and how humanist moral philosophy in particular played such a huge role in his story telling.
I would highly recommend these works to others. For those who have not studied his work before, the language may prove tricky, but I often find that reading them aloud makes them more accessible since it’s often easier for the ear to help the brain process a language that’s meant to be heard anyway. Honestly, I don’t see how one could be disappointed owning these works, works that helped forge the English language into a language of artistic expression a well as helped spawn a new era of poets and playwrights down the years. The Bard is special among those who wrote in the English language, a founder of many an art form in English and a pioneer in forging so many special forms of art.
5.0 out of 5 stars Not the book about fishing I expected.

I purchased this book in the belief that it was about fishing, lures, etc. Turns out this is a different Shakespeare entirely. Imagine my surprise when I found it to be a bunch of yarns by folks who can barely speak English. For the most part the stories are OK although they seem highly derivative– seems like all these basic story lines and phrases have been used time after time for god knows how long, they lack originality. That being said I highly recommend this book… something to read while passing the time waiting for the big one to bite.

4.0 out of 5 stars If The Bard Is Your Thing
Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 12, 2019
30 years after taking Shakespeare, I vowed to work my way through his complete works. This is a good electronic book, good conversion and formatting. No commentary, but a decent nav and easy to read from a formatting perspective. The downside – I got through the whole thing and decided Shakespeare isn’t my thing. I need a Virgil to guide me. The ebook is good. Shakespeare…is Shakespeare.
