| This page will take up the background of Shakespeare's career as an Elizabethan playwright. You may click on Drama, and I have a few words about what was happening generally on the stage during the reigns of Queen Elizabeth I and James I, the monarchs who were reigning while Shakespeare was alive. Click on Life and you will read my comments on Shakespeare's biography. Times deal with the political and social issues during Shakespeare's life. Finally Who Wrote takes up the recurring question of Shakespeare's authorship. I hope you find these remarks helpful in your study of the Plays of William Shakespeare. -- djudkins |
