__**Information on Shakespeare:**__ Little is known about the great, mysterious author and poet William Shakespeare. Though there is some documentation of his life, most of it is just speculation. William Shakespeare's birth is still a mystery although the generally accepted say of his birth was April, 26, 1564 in Stratford. It is believed that Shakespeare went to school around the time he was 6 or 7 and was done by around 13 because of his Father's social and monetary troubles. William went through periods we know now as the 'Lost Years' in which William seems to just disappear from existence. When William reemerged from the second set of lost years it is thought that, that is when he started to study books to write his plays. Shakespeare began writing Macbeth during the Gunpowder plot in England. While his fellow revolutionaries gave their lives, Shakespeare was writing Macbeth as a form of propaganda. As the years grew on Shakespeare he was able to produce more and more stories and sonnets until eventually the years finally caught up to him. Though there is no official record of what killed him, it is believed that he contracted something that people were calling "new fever."
