When William Shakespeare was born in 1564, the Infant Mortality Rate in England was extremely high, with estimates suggesting that around 30% to 50% of infants did not survive past their first year. Factors contributing to this high rate included poor sanitation, limited medical knowledge, and widespread diseases. Such conditions made childhood perilous, significantly impacting family structures and societal norms of the time.

Who are the girl play writers during Shakespeare's time?

Alas, there were no female playwrights in Shakespeare's time unless you count Mary Sidney, Countess of Pembroke, who translated a French version of Antony and Cleopatra by Robert Garnier into English, with no intent that it should be performed. The earliest known female author of an original play in English at any rate is Aphra Behn, who was born about 1640 and whose play The Roverwas written in 1677. This was almost a hundred years after Shakespeare's time, in the Restoration period.


Who was second rate to Shakespeare?

Dante might be considered second only to Shakespeare among renaissance poets. Moliere might be considered second only to Shakespeare among seventeenth-century playwrights. Marlowe might be considered second only to Shakespeare among English sixteenth century playwrights.

George Bernard Shaw might be considered second only to Shakespeare among playwrights from Great Britain. Edward Bond might be considered second only to Shakespeare among playwrights who wrote a play about King Lear. I don't know who is second only to Shakespeare among people whose fathers made gloves.
