The Canterbury Tales Prologue in Middle English

hypertext example

William Shakespeare was born in a small town in the English countryside. His family was not very wealthy and he was educated at the local school. In school, he would have studied many subjects unfamiliar to students of today. There are many theories regarding Shakespeare’s sudden departure to the big city and the home of its famous ever monarch.

Once in London, Shakespeare adjusted to the big city and went about his business of writing and trying not to cause offense to any groups of people. He moved from job to job but settled down to work as a playwright in his new home.
