In Shakespeare's day, English grammar, spelling, and pronunciation were less standardised than they are now, [230] and his use of language helped shape modern English. [231] Samuel Johnson quoted him more often than any other author in his A Dictionary of the English Language, the first serious work of its type. [232] Expressions such as "with bated breath" ( Merchant of Venice) and "a foregone conclusion" ( Othello) have found their way into everyday English speech. [233] [234]

Dates follow the Julian calendar, used in England throughout Shakespeare's lifespan, but with the start of the year adjusted to 1 January (see Old Style and New Style dates). Under the Gregorian calendar, adopted in Catholic countries in 1582, Shakespeare died on 3 May. [2]

Although no attendance records for the period survive, most biographers agree that Shakespeare was probably educated at the King's New School in Stratford, [17] [18] [19] a free school chartered in 1553, [20] about a quarter-mile (400m) from his home. Grammar schools varied in quality during the Elizabethan era, but grammar school curricula were largely similar: the basic Latin text was standardised by royal decree, [21] [22] and the school would have provided an intensive education in grammar based upon Latin classical authors.

Enter John Shakespeare, brother to William and a clever, generous and handsome bloke to boot, who is recruited into Walsingham’s network. Between the brutal murder of one of the queen’s cousins in a burnt out house on London Bridge and a plot to assassinate Sir Francis Drake, John has his work cut out. Alongside all this, King Philip and his armada threatens, Mary Stuart is poised for execution, while Jesuit priests walk the streets, harvesting English souls, evading capture by hiding in the houses of Catholic sympathisers. Also there's Richard Topcliffe, Elizabeth's henchman and priest-hunter who's shadowing John Shakespeare at every turn in his investigations.
