Shakespeare

William Shakespeare (23 April 1564 – 23 April 1616) was an English playwright, poet and actor. He is widely regarded as the greatest writer in the English language and the world's pre-eminent dramatist. He is often called England's national poet and the "Bard of Avon". His extant works, including collaborations, consist of some 39 plays and 154 sonnets. His plays have been translated into every major living language and are performed more often than those of any other playwright. Shakespeare remains the most influential writer in the English language, and his works continue to be studied and reinterpreted.
