Fun+Facts+About+Shakespeare!

1. Shakespeare was born under the old Julian calendar, not the current Gregorian calendar that was created in 1582 and adopted in England in 1751. What was April 23 during Shakespeare's life would be May 3 on today's calendar. 2. In the few signatures that have survived, Shakespeare spelled his name “Willm Shaksp,” “William Shakespe,” “Wm Shakspe,” “William Shakspere,” ”Willm Shakspere,” and “William Shakspeare”--but never “William Shakespeare.

3.There is no evidence for what Shakespeare did between 1585 and 1592, the period when he moved to London and began his writing career. Thus, there is no record of how his career began or how quickly he rose to fame. 4. Sonnets are typically love poems, but Shakespeare's are often self-loathing, bitter, and even homoerotic

5. Shakespeare's works contain first-ever recordings of 2,035 English words, including //critical//, //frugal//, //excellent//, //barefaced//, //assassination//, and //countless// 6. Because they were often hastily written for performance on stage, none of Shakespeare’s original manuscripts exist.   CLICK [|HERE] FOR MORE FUN FACTS :)
