It has long been assumed that Shakespeareâs father was a small-town glover and dealer in hides and wool, who went from riches to rags. The new research suggests that, far from going bust, John Shakespeare was reinvesting in wool and making even more money than ever, some of it via shady deals.
Did Shakespeare, the great poet and dramatist, really exist as we know him? Definitive details about William Shakespeare are sparse, and mostly give us the bullet points of his life. He was born in Stratford-upon-Avon to parents John Shakespeare and Mary (nÃ©e Arden). His father was a glover, in a town in which wool, sheep, and leather were the major components of the economy. Shakespeare married Anne Hathaway at 18, and had three children.
