Author : William Shakespeare

William Shakespeare, an esteemed English playwright, poet, and actor, is celebrated as the greatest writer in the English language and the foremost dramatist worldwide. Known as England's national poet and affectionately referred to as "the Bard of Avon," his prolific body of work includes approximately 39 plays, 154 sonnets, and several long narrative poems. Born in Stratford-upon-Avon, he married Anne Hathaway at 18 and fathered three children. Between 1585 and 1592, Shakespeare found success in London as both a playwright and actor, notably with the Lord Chamberlain's Men, which later became the King's Men. He produced most of his renowned plays, including iconic tragedies such as Hamlet, Romeo and Juliet, and Macbeth, between 1589 and 1613. Although details of his personal life remain scarce, Shakespeare's works have been translated into every major language and continue to influence literature and theater globally. The First Folio, published posthumously in 1623, solidified his legacy, earning him the lasting acclaim described by his contemporary Ben Jonson as a writer "not of an age, but for all time."
