Best Answer

Shakespeare was born in Stratford-Upon-Avon on or about April 23, 1564. He was alive in the 16th and 17th Century. He married in 1582, at the age of 18, and died April 23, 1616 at the age of 52. He wrote most of his life (or at least for the last half of it), but due to him being a fairly private person, little is known about his life and so the dates of when he began writing are unsure. He started in 1590 more or less and retired from writing in 1613, three years before his death.
