Author : William Shakespeare

William Shakespeare was a renowned English playwright, poet, and actor, celebrated as the foremost writer in the English language and often referred to as England's national poet, or the "Bard of Avon." Born and raised in Stratford-upon-Avon, he married Anne Hathaway and had three children before embarking on a prolific career in London around the late 1580s. Shakespeare's oeuvre includes approximately 39 plays, 154 sonnets, and several other poetic works, and his plays are translated into every major language, surpassing any other playwright in performance frequency. His early works primarily consisted of comedies and histories, while he later gained acclaim for his tragedies, including masterpieces such as Hamlet, Romeo and Juliet, Othello, King Lear, and Macbeth. After retiring around 1613, he passed away shortly thereafter, leaving behind a legacy that profoundly influences literature and continues to spark scholarly interest and reinterpretation. His friends published the First Folio in 1623, ensuring the preservation and enduring relevance of his dramatic genius.
