Good question. I gotta go with Jack.
I think everyone knows the names Shakespeare and Dickens but could they name a work by them?
I'm pretty sure everyone could tell you what Jack the Ripper did!

It's definitely not Jack the Ripper, It's probably Shakespeare, Queen Victoria, Dickens, or most likely the late Diana, Princess of Wales.

This question has too many variables. Was Shakespeare more famous than Winston Churchill? Was Dickens more famous than Queen Victoria? Impossible to answer.

Is Son of Sam (David Berkowitz) or Lee Harvey Oswald or Ted Bundy or Ted Kazinsky (Unibomber) or Timothy McVeigh the most famous American in all of history, or is Abraham Lincoln better known or Mark Twain?
Your question, of course, is impossible to answer definitively, but, a close answer would be Winston Churchill or Queen Elizabeth (not the current one) or any others of a host of royalty or Oliver Cromwell or, yes, William Shakespeare.

I would say Shakespeare is the most famous Englishman ever.

That depends on your tastes in famous englishmen. I prefer Winston Churchill.

I would say Shakepeare in America but in Australia it is James Cook the man that discovered our country.

Shakespeare, by far!
