英语词汇shakespearean的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

Shakespearean. Shakespearean means much more than “per- taining to the work of English writer William Shakespeare.” The word has come to represent profound universal magistry and vision in writing, among a veritable dictionary of superla- tives. Little is really known about the personal life of the world’s greatest poet and dramatist. Shakespeare was born in 1564 at Stratford-on-Avon of substantial middle-class parents, his fa- ther being an alderman, and received a solid grammar school education, well above the standards for the times. There is evi- dence that the Sweet Swan of Avon, as Ben Jonson called him, left Stratford for London to avoid a charge of poaching. He probably acted in the earl of Leicester’s company and by 1592 had achieved fame as a dramatist and actor. By this time Shake- speare had acquired property and lived like a gentleman with his wife, Anne Hathaway, whom he had married 10 years pre- viously, and with their children, Susanna and the twins Ham- met and Judith. Shakespeare was one of the few writers in his day to win fame and wealth. The Bard of Avon died on his own birthday in 1616, aged 52, in Stratford, where he had retired five years before. Countless stories and speculations surround the dramatist’s life, ranging from the spelling of his name—the plentiful variations including Shakspeare, Shakspear, and Shakspeare—to the alleged infidelity of his wife, the identity of the “dark lady” of the sonnets, and the fantastic theory that Ba- con actually wrote his plays. Most of these theories are familiar, but none has been proved.
