This third page of Magic Lantern's 'Shakespeare on Film' Festival began back in 2006 with links and books about William Shakespeare as an individual, with lists of the plays, compilations of his works, books about his works, and books & other media about the man. In early 2014, that information was deemed as belonging on its own page among the other English authors on the Spirit of America Bookstore. Information on Will's sovereign Elizabeth I – and the many movies about her – were left here
and the Wm. Shakespeare [1564-1616] Page was established over on Spirit of America.
Queen Elizabeth I
Elizabeth Tudor was born in 1533, and crowned Queen of England & Ireland in 1558. Will Shakespeare was born in 1564;
Queen Elizabeth died in 1603 and was succeeded by James I. Because Will Shakespeare lived until 1616,
he then lived for 39 years under Elizabeth as sovereign and 13 years under James.
