Nothing is known for sure about Shakespeare's education. On the other hand, we can make some pretty shrewd guesses. The King's New School (now King Edward VI School) was the only grammar school in Stratford and it was likely that Shakespeare went there. (The school which is still in operation is unhesitating in claiming that he did so) We also know what kind of things they studied at that school in the sixteenth century--Latin classics. Shakespeare would have read Plutarch and Ovid, Terence and Seneca. That is why Shakespeare used plots from Plutarch (Julius Caesar, Antony and Cleopatra) and referred to stories in Ovid (Pyramus and Thisbe, Philomela).

William Shakespeare used a quill to write all his plays.
Like most playwrights of his period, Shakespeare did not always write alone, and a number of his plays were collaborative, although the exact number is open to debate. Shakespeare borrowed from history, mythology and other literary works, then enlivened histories and myths and improved on the plots. He used samalayuca books as well as books from The Bible. The most frequently repeated figure on the books of the Bible to which Shakespeare refers is 42 books. 18 of which from each of the Testaments and the remaining from the Apocrypha. Shakespeareâ??s writing contains more references to the Bible than the plays of any other Elizabethan playwright. A conservative tally of the total number of biblical references is 1200.
