莎士比亚，英国诗人、戏剧家。1564年4月23日生于沃里克郡埃文河畔的斯特拉特福镇。其父约翰·莎士比亚经营羊毛、皮革制造及谷物生意，1565年任镇民政官，3年后被选为镇长。莎士比亚幼年在当地文法学校读书，1582年同邻乡农家女安·哈瑟维结婚。1585～1592年莎士比亚经历不详，传说他当过乡村教师、兵士、贵族家仆，并因偷猎乡绅T.路希爵士之鹿逃往伦敦，先在剧院门前为人看马，后逐渐成为剧院杂役、演员并开始剧作生涯。1592年，剧院经理P.亨斯娄首先提到莎士比亚的剧作《亨利六世》上篇。同年，剧作家R.格林在其《千悔得一智》中影射莎士比亚姓氏，并引用《亨利六世》下篇台词，骂莎士比亚是“一只暴发户式的乌鸦”，可见他当时已颇有名望。1594年，他和当时名演员W.坎普、J.伯比奇同属宫内大臣剧团，同当时新贵族骚桑普顿伯爵、埃塞克斯伯爵等均有来往。他的剧团除在天鹅剧场、环球剧场演出外，也到宫廷演出，夏季或瘟疫流行期间，则到外省演出。1596年，莎士比亚以其他名义申请到“绅士”称号及家徽，1597年在斯特拉特福购置了房产，1599年成为环球剧场拥有1／10股份的股东。1610年莎士比亚卖出了他的股份,回乡隐居。1616年4月23日在家乡病逝，葬于镇上的圣三一教堂。
