The Time Paragraph
William Shakespeare
William Shakespeare, the greatest literary
genius of the English language, was born in Stratford-on Avon in 1564. Although
Shakespeare is principally remembered today as the premier English dramatist,
he ear1y attained widespread popularity in the 1590's as a lyric and narrative
poet with the publication of Venus and Adonis (1593) and The Rape of Lucrece (1594).
He first attained success as a playwright after the production of Henry IV,
Part l, in 1592. Over the next two decades he wrote a succession of widely
acclaimed plays which may be categorized roughly into three groups, histories,
comedies, and tragedies or tragi-comedies. Among the history plays, Richard III
in 1592-93, Richard II in 1594-95, and Henry V in 1599 were especial1y well
received and have continued to be produced even until the present day. Of the
comedies, a Midsummer Night's Dream 1595, The Merchant of Venice 1595-96, and
Much Ado About Nothing 1598, were and are enduring favorites with actors and
audiences alike. But undoubtedly Shakespeare's world-wide reputation as a
dramatist rest on the great tragedies Romeo and Juliet 1594-95, Othello 1602, Hamlet
1602, King Lear 1606, and Anthony and Cleopatra 1607. After having dominated
the London theatrical scene for some twenty years, Shakespeare retired to
Stratford, where he 1ived in relatively ease and comfort until his death in
1616.

Grape Cultivation
The history of the grape is as old
as man and older. In fact, fossilized grape leaves, stems and seeds have been
taken from Tertiary deposits of perhaps 30,000,000 years ago. But in man's recorded
history, we have details of grape and wine production depicted in mosaics of
2,400 BC during the Fourth Dynasty of Egypt. In Homer's time, about 1000 BC,
wine was a common feature of Greek life. By 600 BC., grapes were known in
France, and no later than AD 200 they were introduced into Germany. Columbus, and later the colonists, brought
European grapes to America where they found native varieties already growing in
a wild state.

Oscar Wilde
Oscar Wilde, Irish dramatist and
poet, was one of the most important figures of the Victorian Period. Being born in Dublin in 1854, Wilde could
never imagine that his name, through the pass of time, would be immortalized in
universal literature. It was not until
1882 that the name Oscar Wilde began to be recognized. Among his large number of works, the ones
that deserve special attention are his comic plays, such as Lady Windermere’s Fan (1892), A Woman of
No Importance (1893), The Ideal Husband (1894), and The importance of Being
Ernest (1895); besides of his tale Lord Arthur Saville’s Crime, and his great
novel The Picture of Dorian Gray (1891).
Nevertheless, although Oscar was the creator of such magnific and
countless pieces of art, his startling manner of life brought him a lot of
troubles. In 1895, he was sentenced
toprison for charges of immorality.
After his release (two years later), Wilde lived in France a short
period of time, and then moved to Paris, where he died in 1900. A hundred and four years after his death,
people continue appreciating Oscar Wilde as a “master piece” of the literary
world.
