About this work

Who was William Shakespeare?

William Shakespeare (1564–1616) — glover's son from Stratford, working actor, shareholder in the Globe — wrote the thirty-seven plays and 154 sonnets that remade the English language. Four centuries on, his lines remain the most quoted words in the language.
