Question

Hello.. do you know who William Shakespear is?
Do you about his poems? or anything about him? Tell me.. I do need these information.

Answer 1

William Shakespeare (baptised April 26, 1564 – died April 23, 1616)[1] was an English poet and playwright widely regarded as the greatest writer of the English language, and the world's preeminent dramatist.[2] He wrote approximately 38 plays and 154 sonnets, as well as a variety of other poems.[3] Already a popular writer in his own lifetime, Shakespeare became increasingly celebrated after his death and his work adulated by numerous prominent cultural figures through the centuries.[4] He is often considered to be England's national poet[5] and is sometimes referred to as the "Bard of Avon" (or simply "The Bard")[6] or the "Swan of Avon".[7]

Orthodox scholars believe Shakespeare produced most of his work between 1586 and 1612, although the exact dates and chronology of the plays attributed to him are under considerable debate, as is the authorship of the works attributed to him. He is counted among the very few playwrights who have excelled in both tragedy and comedy, and his plays combine popular appeal with complex characterisation, poetic grandeur and philosophical depth.

Shakespeare's works have been translated into every major living language, and his plays are continually performed all around the world. In addition, Shakespeare is the most quoted writer in the literature and history of the English-speaking world[8], and many of his quotations and neologisms have passed into everyday usage in English and other languages. Over the years, many people have speculated about Shakespeare's life, raising questions about his sexuality and religious affiliation.

It would take volumes to tell you about Shakespeare. You can get a quick read about him in the Encyclopedia Britannica. There are some scholars who are not quite certain that Shakespeare was the author of any of the works that carry his name. There is a book "Alias Shakespeare" by Joseph Sobran which pretty much covers "The Life of Shakespeare"; The Origins of the Shakespeare Myth" "Disconnections between the Poetry and the Life"; Possible "real" authors of Shakespeare's works like Edmund Spenser,Ben Johnson, Sir Philip Sydney, Edward de Vere;Henry Howard, etc.Your best bet is to check out the Encyclopedia if you are limited by time.Good luck
