"So, now that I've read all 37 plays and all the poems I thought I might as well add this. Well, what can I comment on that hasn't already been covered? Needless to say, no writer has ever come close to surpassing the works of Shakespeare and I don't think that any writer ever will." — Hollis (5 out of 5 stars)

William Shakespeare (1564–1616), English poet and dramatist of the Elizabethan and early Jacobean period, is the most widely known author in all of English literature and often considered the greatest. He was an active member of a theater company for at least twenty years, during which time he wrote many great plays. Plays were not prized as literature at the time and Shakespeare was not widely read until the middle of the eighteenth century, when a great upsurge of interest in his works began that continues today.
