前言
1897年7月,最早版《英国名人传记辞典》的第51卷问世,其中有西德尼·李(SidneyL,ee)撰写的条目“莎士比亚的生平”。当时,西德尼·李还是《英国名人传记辞典》的编辑,在这项工程完工时已撰写了800多个条目。差不多在一个世纪之后,我收到来函,邀请我为新版《牛津英国名人传记大辞典》撰写莎士比亚传记,此前我只编写过一个条目:为一位我几乎闻所未闻的18世纪的演员作传。西德尼·李于1898年再版了莎士比亚的传记,题名为《莎士比亚的生平》,将条目大大扩充,起初达450多页,其后的各种修订版近800页。本书完全按照《牛津英国名人传记大辞典》的最新网络版,重印了我撰写的莎士比亚传记。不过,西德尼·李和我所撰的莎士比亚条目有一个共同特点:两者均为整个多卷本辞典中篇幅最长的条目之一,这也显示出莎士比亚作为英国民族诗人的显赫地位。

章节摘录
Background, early life,and marriageIV illiam Shakespeare (1564-1616),playwright and poet, was baptized, probably by the parishpriest, John Bretchgirdle, in Holy Trinity, the parish churchof Stratford upon Avon, on 26 April 1564, the third childof John Shakespeare (d.1601,) and Mary Arden (d. 1608). Itseems appropriate that the first of many gaps in the records ofShakespeare's life should be the exact date of his birth, thoughthat is a common problem for the period. He was probablyborn on 21, 22, or 23 April 1564, given the 1559 prayer book'sinstructions to parents on the subject of baptisms. But, eversince Joseph Greene, an eighteenth-century Stratford curate,informed the scholar George Steevens that Shakespeare wasborn on 23 April, with no apparent evidence for his asser-tion, and Steevens adopted that date in his 1773 edition ofShakespeare, it has been usual to assume that Shakespearewas born on St George's day, so that England's patron saintand the birth of the 'national poet' can be celebrated on thesame day. Where he was born is dearer: in 1564 his parentsappear to have been living in Henley Street, probably in partof the building now known as Shakespeare's Birthplace but,equally probably, not in that part of the building in which the room traditionally known as the place of Shakespeare'sbirth is located. The accretion of myth and commerce aroundShakespeare's biography and its material legacy produces suchparadoxes.Shakespeare's familyRichard Shakespeare, a husbandman and probably John'sfather, had settled in Snitterfield near Stratford by 1529 and haddied by February 1561, leaving property that he rented fromRobert Arden of Wilmcote. Robert Arden was a member ofthe younger branch of the powerful Arden family; his father,Thomas Arden, lived at Wilmcote and passed lands, probablyquite extensive, to his son. Robert married twice: with his firstwile, Agnes Mill, nee Webbe, he had at least eight children, allgirls, the youngest of whom was Mary; there appear to havebeen no children from the second marriage, though there werestepchildren.The two families, Ardens and Shakespeares, were linked byRichard Shakespeare's tenancy from Robert Arden. But JohnShakespeare (bAn or before 1530, d. 1601) did not continue hisfather's occupation. By the time he married Mary Arden (sometime between November 1556 and 1558), he had establishedhimself in Stratford as a glover and whittawer (a dresser oflight coloured leather). He lived in Henley Street, buying ahouse and garden there in 1556 and starting to buy furtherproperty in town. In this he might well have been helped byhis wife's inheritance: in Robert Arden's will of November 1556she was named one of the two executors and supervised thesubstantial inventory of his goods and moveables in December1556 after his death. She also inherited the valuable estate in.
