Lord Chamberlain’s Men, a London-based theatrical company with which William
Shakespeare was intimately connected for most of his professional career as a
dramatist. It was the most important company of players in Elizabethan and
Jacobean England.

HISTORY

The troupe’s early history is somewhat complicated. A company known as Hunsdon’s
Men, whose patron was Henry Carey, 1st Lord Hunsdon, is traceable to 1564–67.
Hunsdon took office as Lord Chamberlain in 1585, and another company (the Lord
Chamberlain’s Men) under his patronage is traceable to 1590. Two years later the
theaters closed because of plague; when they reopened in 1594, a good deal of
reorganization and amalgamation between various theater companies took place. A
strong Lord Chamberlain’s company emerged.

After their patron’s death in 1596, the company came under the protection of his
son, George Carey, 2nd Lord Hunsdon. Once more it was known as Hunsdon’s Men,
until their new patron himself took office as Lord Chamberlain in 1597.
Thereafter, it was known as the Lord Chamberlain’s Men, until the accession of
James I in March 1603, when, by letters patent, it was taken under royal
patronage and henceforth known as the King’s Men.

Royal court records show that the Lord Chamberlain’s Men were the most favored
theatrical company of their era.

The records of performances given at court show that they were by far the most
favored of the theatrical companies. Their only rival was a company known during
Elizabeth I’s reign as the Admiral’s Men and after that as Prince Henry’s Men.
From the summer of 1594 to March 1603 the Lord Chamberlain’s Men seem to have
played almost continuously in London. They undertook a provincial tour during
the autumn of 1597, however, and traveled again in 1603 when the plague was in
London. The company went on tour during part of the summers or autumns in most
years thereafter.

THEATERS

In 1594 their London home was for a time a theater in Newington Butts (an
archery range not far south of London Bridge) and after that most probably at
the Cross Keys Inn in the city itself. Later, they presumably used The Theatre,
situated in Shoreditch, which was owned by actor Richard Burbage’s father.

In the autumn of 1599, the company was rehoused in the Globe Theatre, built by
Richard and Cuthbert Burbage on the south bank of the Thames, due west of London
Bridge at Southwark. This was the company’s most famous home.

Profits there were shared between members of the company as such and the owners
of the theater (called “housekeepers”), who included the two Burbages,
Shakespeare, and four others. Shakespeare was the company’s principal dramatist
(he also acted with them), but works by Ben Jonson, Thomas Dekker, and the
partnership of Francis Beaumont and John Fletcher were also presented.

About 1608 another theater, in the converted monastery of the Blackfriars,
became the winter headquarters of the King’s Men. This was also managed by the
Burbages, and profits were shared in a manner similar to that followed at the
Globe.

AFTER SHAKESPEARE

Shakespeare, who had retired to his home town of Stratford-upon-Avon, died in
1616. Richard Burbage died in 1619. The longest-surviving member of the original
company was John Heminge, who died in 1630.

The company itself ceased to exist when, at the outbreak of the English Civil
Wars in 1642, the theaters were closed and remained so until the Restoration 18
years later.

HOW DID SHAKESPEARE DIE?

The cause of Shakespeare's death is unknown. However, the vicar of the local
church wrote in his journal some fifty years later that “Shakespeare, Drayton,
and Ben Jonson had a merry meeting, and it seems drank too hard; for Shakespeare
died of a fever there contracted.” The account cannot be verified but has led
some scholars to speculate that Shakespeare may have died of typhus.

WHY IS SHAKESPEARE STILL IMPORTANT TODAY?

Shakespeare remains vital because his plays present people and situations that
we recognize today. His characters have an emotional reality that transcends
time, and his plays depict familiar experiences, ranging from family squabbles
to falling in love to war. The fact that his plays are performed and adapted
around the world underscores the universal appeal of his storytelling.

Shakespeare's First FolioTitle page of the First Folio, the first published
edition (1623) of the collected works of William Shakespeare; it was originally
titled Mr. William Shakespeares Comedies, Histories & Tragedies.(more)

William Shakespeare (baptized April 26, 1564, Stratford-upon-Avon, Warwickshire,
England—died April 23, 1616, Stratford-upon-Avon) was a poet, dramatist, and
actor often called the English national poet. He is considered by many to be the
greatest dramatist of all time.

Shakespeare occupies a position unique in world literature. Other poets, such as
Homer and Dante, and novelists, such as Leo Tolstoy and Charles Dickens, have
transcended national barriers, but no writer’s living reputation can compare to
that of Shakespeare, whose plays, written in the late 16th and early 17th
centuries for a small repertory theatre, are now performed and read more often
and in more countries than ever before. The prophecy of his great contemporary,
the poet and dramatist Ben Jonson, that Shakespeare “was not of an age, but for
all time,” has been fulfilled.

It may be audacious even to attempt a definition of his greatness, but it is not
so difficult to describe the gifts that enabled him to create imaginative
visions of pathos and mirth that, whether read or witnessed in the theatre, fill
the mind and linger there. He is a writer of great intellectual rapidity,
perceptiveness, and poetic power. Other writers have had these qualities, but
with Shakespeare the keenness of mind was applied not to abstruse or remote
subjects but to human beings and their complete range of emotions and conflicts.
Other writers have applied their keenness of mind in this way, but Shakespeare
is astonishingly clever with words and images, so that his mental energy, when
applied to intelligible human situations, finds full and memorable expression,
convincing and imaginatively stimulating. As if this were not enough, the art
form into which his creative energies went was not remote and bookish but
involved the vivid stage impersonation of human beings, commanding sympathy and
inviting vicarious participation. Thus, Shakespeare’s merits can survive
translation into other languages and into cultures remote from that of
Elizabethan England.

Although the amount of factual knowledge available about Shakespeare is
surprisingly large for one of his station in life, many find it a little
disappointing, for it is mostly gleaned from documents of an official character.
Dates of baptisms, marriages, deaths, and burials; wills, conveyances, legal
processes, and payments by the court—these are the dusty details. There are,
however, many contemporary allusions to him as a writer, and these add a
reasonable amount of flesh and blood to the biographical skeleton.

EARLY LIFE IN STRATFORD

Shakespeare's birthplaceBirthplace of William Shakespeare, Stratford-upon-Avon,
Warwickshire, England.(more)

The parish register of Holy Trinity Church in Stratford-upon-Avon, Warwickshire,
shows that he was baptized there on April 26, 1564; his birthday is
traditionally celebrated on April 23. His father, John Shakespeare, was a
burgess of the borough, who in 1565 was chosen an alderman and in 1568 bailiff
(the position corresponding to mayor, before the grant of a further charter to
Stratford in 1664). He was engaged in various kinds of trade and appears to have
suffered some fluctuations in prosperity. His wife, Mary Arden, of Wilmcote,
Warwickshire, came from an ancient family and was the heiress to some land.
(Given the somewhat rigid social distinctions of the 16th century, this marriage
must have been a step up the social scale for John Shakespeare.)

The Love Quiz

Stratford enjoyed a grammar school of good quality, and the education there was
free, the schoolmaster’s salary being paid by the borough. No lists of the
pupils who were at the school in the 16th century have survived, but it would be
absurd to suppose the bailiff of the town did not send his son there. The boy’s
education would consist mostly of Latin studies—learning to read, write, and
speak the language fairly well and studying some of the Classical historians,
moralists, and poets. Shakespeare did not go on to the university, and indeed it
is unlikely that the scholarly round of logic, rhetoric, and other studies then
followed there would have interested him.

Instead, at age 18 he married. Where and exactly when are not known, but the
episcopal registry at Worcester preserves a bond dated November 28, 1582, and
executed by two yeomen of Stratford, named Sandells and Richardson, as a
security to the bishop for the issue of a license for the marriage of William
Shakespeare and “Anne Hathaway of Stratford,” upon the consent of her friends
and upon once asking of the banns. (Anne died in 1623, seven years after
Shakespeare. There is good evidence to associate her with a family of Hathaways
who inhabited a beautiful farmhouse, now much visited, 2 miles [3.2 km] from
Stratford.) The next date of interest is found in the records of the Stratford
church, where a daughter, named Susanna, born to William Shakespeare, was
baptized on May 26, 1583. On February 2, 1585, twins were baptized, Hamnet and
Judith. (Hamnet, Shakespeare’s only son, died 11 years later.)

How Shakespeare spent the next eight years or so, until his name begins to
appear in London theatre records, is not known. There are stories—given currency
long after his death—of stealing deer and getting into trouble with a local
magnate, Sir Thomas Lucy of Charlecote, near Stratford; of earning his living as
a schoolmaster in the country; of going to London and gaining entry to the world
of theatre by minding the horses of theatregoers. It has also been conjectured
that Shakespeare spent some time as a member of a great household and that he
was a soldier, perhaps in the Low Countries. In lieu of external evidence, such
extrapolations about Shakespeare’s life have often been made from the internal
“evidence” of his writings. But this method is unsatisfactory: one cannot
conclude, for example, from his allusions to the law that Shakespeare was a
lawyer, for he was clearly a writer who without difficulty could get whatever
knowledge he needed for the composition of his plays.
