We know very little about the greatest writer of England. He was born in Stratford-upon-Avon in 1564 and died in 1616 after writing 37 plays and 154 sonnets and being the most successful player in London. His father was a glove-merchant, unable to read or write, and his mother a religious woman but uneducated.

 His friend Ben Jonson claimed that Shakespeare knew very little about classical languages because he had a basic education. His daughter Judith signed with a cross and his daughter Susanna can sign but not write a letter. We have only six signs of Shakespeare in four different documents, the signs are not of the same hand and experts argue that his lawyers were who signed these documents by him and –what it is worst- we do not have any manuscript by him and the list of his possessions included on his will do not say anything about he had an only book.
However, his works show spread knowledge of classical and modern languages, of weapons and ships, of medicine and laws, of courtesan life and mythology, of holly history and geography… If John Milton was able of using eight thousand words (a well-read person uses four thousand), William Shakespeare managed more than twenty thousand and most of them were Italian, French or Spanish terms, and if Jack London or Stevenson could speak about shipwrecks due to their trips, William Shakespeare speaks of them with the same precision but without doing an only trip on ship.
Very many investigators ask if William Shakespeare was the simple actor born in Stratford-upon-Avon that we suppose or if William Shakespeare was another person or even more than one: his plays were published seven years after his death and never before.
In these circumstances, there are very many candidates to be Shakespeare: Chistopher Marlowe; Francis Bacon; Edward the Vere, 17th Earl of Oxford; and even the Queen Elisabeth.
